Robert;

Are you serious?  SAP has been around for nearly 20 years.

It is effectively the 800 pound gorilla of corporate financial do-all for
the fortune 500.  And the definition of do-all is ever expanding. 
Straight GL, materials management, raw materials, payroll.  It has
modules for most financial companies' requirements.

Having said that - it is somewhat virus like too.  It typically takes
very big iron if you a blue pill taker. Sun E10K or larger modern for the
database.   As many as a dozen IBM pSeries for the app tier.

Reliance on this previous bullet proof big iron has produced a cool
response to the question of running the mission critical money machine on
'little 'ole Linux.'

My 2 cents...


E!
