Reynolds & Reynolds?
Look on the u2ug web site - you might find the story there. They spent
MILLIONS converting their product to SQL-Server, and the SQL version
floated about as well as a lead balloon. They ended up scrapping it.

If you want that sort of story, google for "oxford health pick". They
were a pick-based (might well have been UV) health insurer. (Trying to)
switch away from Pick pretty much sent them from market leader to near
bankruptcy.
