Agresso was my first job. I got to migrate customers off of Ingres, Sybase, Informix to either Oracle or SQL Server 6.5. After some time, I got the opportunity to build their Crystal Reports integration. This was 1997-1998.

Do you happen to know whether the back-end systems would still be the systems that you used to work on? I have a feeling it never really changed...

Sorry, I have no insight in that. When I was there we were just upgrading to Agresso 5, and as I remember it, it was pretty much a win32 app talking directly to the database. Not sure how much, if any, server part was there in between. So it has probably changed when they switched to web.
