They feel more like IBM, but more crusty, more conservative and more corporate.

Working for a railway on anything touching SAP sounds like an absolute nightmare of wasting decades threading water with nothing to show for it.

(I saw a bit of SAP inside DB… nope nope nope)

It's funny, I was originally going to comment "the worst of Oracle with the worst of IBM" but I prefer the way you put it

Edit: no offence intended to anyone at SAP, IBM or Oracle - I do think each company has a legitimate role to play for rather different markets
