    ERP is a field where people know there is more to the universe than MS, and have been using it for a long time.

    The Bald one should prepare for some pain.

    Would have been better off fixing the stuff they already had!

    Instead of spending money beefing up MS Dynamics AX (their high end offering) they should be fixing the bugs in the stuff they already own. The Intrastat routines in MS Dynamics GP (bread and butter offering) have been broken since V6.0 - and they are still broken in V.10 six years later! I don't think they mention this in the sales pitch however - just has a tick box that says it records Intrastat records - it omits to mention it does them badly/wrong!
