Looks like lots of trouble in the whole ERP space. SAP isn't seeing people moving to HANA. Panaya is struggling. And Oracle EBS market share is declining.

I don't know if all ERP software is like what I've seen but what I've seen is a hot mess.
If your company is ever looking to move to the ERP space from a homegrown legacy system like we did, don't buy Infor. I'd rather deal with greenscreens for the next twenty years of my life than have to deal with Infor products and support for one more year. And I used to hate old, tired Big Iron.

Don't know anything about Infor but these are huge complex systems that people don't want to change because there is a huge risk of changes. So now they are falling behind, running up huge amounts of technical debt, and staying on old systems. I know with SAP most people have never heard of HANA and most of the companies that migrated did so because they were on very very old versions. Oracle EBS is pushing this migration to the cloud that is making a bit of traction with SMBs but not going anywhere in the enterprise and changes are difficult.
