Mistakes were made: ERP screwups

On the other hand SAP is still by far my favourite ERP as a finance user. Interfaces that look like the green-screen dumb-terminals of the past are fantastically productive for data entry. Tab tab F9

I loved the rigour of the thing, I trusted it.

Haha - so true. The first versions of some of the financial packages built on salesforce and elsewhere - so SLOW. Click, wait, dropdown -> wait for it to populate with the 1,500 items when devs probably only tested with 5 etc etc, then click, wait, click, wait. All much better now of course, but the early years were terrible.

I find Netsuite is still combersome for fast data entry. But it is also very flexible and extensible...

PC based POS systems in India are apparently DOS or Foxpro apps on modern Windows. Tally, ERP giant, has an interface from 1995. That's how they remained productive while the world regressed to the mouse.

Further than that, SAP Business One is pretty good to use too
