There is a new weapon that you can throw at this argument, that is cost and deliverables. Boards and CEOs and professional CIOs are frustrated at the cost and delays, where deliverables are not being met. Forget the technical arguments and focus on the financial ones. CEOs and boards do not know if Oracle or SAP is any good, they are taking the approach of there is security in numbers. The old I cannot get sacked for buying IBM. However risk mitigation is a growing issue in every organisation. Reducing the cost and shortening deliverable time tables mitigate risk. This is where U2 shines. I talk to management about the KISS principal, I play on their fears of technology by promoting robust technology instead of flashy technology. Focus on the business arguments and risk mitigation, then U2 has the legs on Oracle and SAP.
