Over and above high costs, SMEs are forced to acquire large servers, highly qualified technical personnel, pay user based fees and recurring license costs etc. The core intent of SME of optimizing cost is lost the moment they are fooled into going for a oversized, underutilized, misfit ERP. Only ERPs like SYS-APPS (<a HREF="http://www.excltechnologies.com" rel="nofollow">www.excltechnologies.com</A>) which are focused to the requirements of SMEs, can serve them effectively and help them realize their goal of improved efficiency with lower input costs.

Is this a little arrogant of Microsoft, trying to compete against the established Tier 1 vendors in ERP? Oh… Yeah… they’re Microsoft. The same company that went after Lotus 123, Netscape, Word Perfect, and others. Find a niche that uses software, exploit it with the fact that MS software runs well on MS Windows, it has a familiar look and feel to it, and give it away for free or market the hell out of it.
