SAP for sure.  I've used it for years and love it.  I've never used Oracle and don't know anyone who has so you might not like my answer.  Larry(of Oracle) reminds me the old Steve Jobs at Apple(he had the mentality of build it better and the will pay thru the nose & we don't need help).  Apple survived but they almost killed themselves in the early days. You might be asking which product will win? & which will lose? - in the end.  Often it's not a matter of "better" but simply a matter of market penetration: MS Windows vs Apple, VHS vs Sony Beta, etc....\n\nSAP has the market and the users are all locked in they will not change, they have no choice(too big an investment), and they will push SAP to always met their needs and to grow so that license fees can be absorbed by more and more companies(users).

You need to find a person who knows both systems very well. \n\nUnfortunately, such a person probably doesn't exist.  Most people specialize in one or the other, and most M$ geeks only know M$ (sorry, but that's the truth).\n\nWorse yet, what is "better" overall might not work for your company.  For instance, I upgraded a client from an old version of Peachtree to a new one (better!) but we had to cancel that when we found out that the newer Peachtree had a limitation that we couldn't work around (worse!).\n\nEither system will probably work.  I don't like the fact that any M$ financial software locks me into M$ products, usually their latest-greatest only (so you have to upgrade Office, Exchange, etc when you upgrade the accounting software).  Oracle will probably run on servers of various platforms, which might be nice.  \n\nYour success will depend greatly on the people who do your install and configuration and migration and training.  Choose VERY carefully -- they will be de facto a part of your staff for years.\n\nAny accounting software change is hell... tell you accounting people that it will be at least a year of hell, during which time they'll develop drug and alcohol habits.  That way, when they only complain for 6 months you can tell them that you're ahead of schedule and the project is exceeding expectations.  I'm serious about this -- otherwise, people (like the computer guy) will get fired at the 3-4 month mark!!!!

I recently saw this open source ERP at www.compiere.com\nSince their erp is open source, you can consider their prices to be lower with no license fee. However, the database that they use is Oracle 10G. There probably a fee to that. As for hardware, it depends on how many physical server your erp requires. I would think at least 2, one for application, another for database.\n\nFor more info erp systems, check out http://www.wareprise.com

I am not in SAP but I am in the industry working in US. In the ERP products, SAP has a very good footing. SAP also is working actively to integrate Enterprise Service Architecture (ESA) and web services to its products. Many of the SAP modules do not have very good competitors. It takes years to create a product that can replace SAP efficiently and hence I guess SAP platform will be popular among big businesses for the next 15 years.\n\nTo question on if you will be successful in this platform, the answer is dependent on *you*. A lot of communication skill and networking skill (I mean the soft skill to keep people close to you in your network) is needed to get good assignments. Many assignments in this area is awarded based on "somebody knows him" relationship.

Hi Deep,\n\nIf you are working on SAP and that too in ABAP, but still not finding it interesting then I think you should look for a change of job in a good company who really uses SAP in their business.\n\nIf you still want to be in JAVA, then work on SAP Netweaver product suite which gives you exposure on ABAP+JAVA coding in Web Dynpros and BSP applications.\n\nHope it makes things some what easy for you.\n\nRegards,\nYatin

SAP is a bsuiness tracking program that companies use to track parts, supplies, documents, and many, many other things.\n\nAs a mechanical engineer, that has worked in a plant, I have used SAP to view drawing files, view and update work instructions, track material, display and edit bills of materials, track scrap rates and specific defect codes, and track total production.\n\nIt is a useful program, but not the most user-friendly.

There are two types of SAP experiences you can have.\n1) You are part of the team that got the SAP software (R/3, CRM, etc) up for your company or companies for which you were a consulting resource.\n2) Your company used SAP software and you happened to make use of it as part of your job (accountant, HR, inventory manager, sales rep etc..).

Both are ERP packages.. where oracle has concentrated more and well established on financial module alone where as SAP deals with all. Still there are companies which uses oracle for financial department and SAP for remaining, the only difference is the cost effective in maintaining the both.

SAP has its own and they do a better job than others.\n\nDont bother though. Why would you lock yourself into a proprietry language???? Stick with Java or open source in 5 years you will be even more in demand

Companies use Oracle more than Microsoft, although it'd be good to get some experience with SQL.  I've used both, and never seen any real huge difference between the two.  The coomands are generally the same, the logic is generally the same.
