Re: (Out of Topic) Help needed in my research

I think one place you will find very useful is www.erpcentral.com

>From my own experience, upgrades are mostly for two reasons.

The first is functionality.  Each upgrade not only represents a functional 
improvement to the product as a whole but more to the customer.  They see it as 
an opportunity to improve their own business processes.

The second is because "they have to".  Y2K is an example; technology is 
another.  And while technology may also be classified as a functionality 
because it allows the customer to improve or create a business process such as 
e-commerce.  From a technical aspect, perhaps it fits in with a hardware or 
infra-structure upgrade, at the same time.

Hope this helps and good luck,
Sam

I'm  sorry  to  bring  in a non technical subject into this list but i need
some  help in my research on the Peoplesoft ERP market - it's current trend
and  what  is to be expected in the near future. I would like to especially
hear  from  people  who  are involved in upgrades or have plans to start an
upgrade  soon.  The two main questions around which my research is based on
is WHY - An upgrade?? and WHAT NEXT ??

All help in this regard would be appreciated.

Thanx in advance
