My dad taught me if it ain't broken don't touch it and if it is then get the duct tape out. Well, putting the joke aside SL has servered us well and the security issue was not really a big concern as our system is behind a firewall and it communitcates with remote locations via VPN. Plus, internally, we don't have employees that would be savvy enough to tinker with SL and we add deterrence by educating everyone that the system is closely monitored and audited (learned this one from Regan's Star War and consulting at global law firms--don't mess around or I'll point the killer laser at you that I don't have and, yes, if you tinker with my very vulnerable multi-million dollars financial system then I will throw my thousands of lawyers at you to have you put away forever). Also, SL has been around longer and it is proven (so to speak and probably on the comfort level only) and LS really hasn't been around for that long; given LS's aggressive, for lack of better word, promise (security and database and codes rewrite) these have all lead me to put the migration on hold. The only thing that I really like about LS at this time is it is community driven with core developers; however, I ponder the question on why it is limiting its backend to Postgres (other then being good for Postgres) and deem the necesary to put all the logics and constraints in the backend (it is a shame that I was taught all these relational database theories and design cycles and later on in life had to work with expensive financial system that uses flat tables). To me, a medium business could easily be 10-20 millions per year and it may just not want to use Postgres. Further, how about the vision that the SMB one day will become SMVLB (very large)?
