I would be very cautious of anything the department of commerce has put out
since 1993.

ACCORDING TO DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE NUMBERS SINCE 1998, COMPANIES HAVE
WASTED $7 BILLION ON ORACLE, PEOPLESOFT, SAP AND SIEBEL ALONE. AND THAT'S
JUST A FOOTNOTE IN TOTAL ERP EXPENDITURES FOR THE PERIOD BETWEEN 1998 TO
2002 WHICH TOTALS $625 BILLION IN WASTED OR CANCELED PROJECTS.
So much for "flexible decision making!?"
