Yes another die-hard fan of Baan/ Infor Products

Yesterday I happen to meet one gentleman, who in turn had given pitch to a company for his own ERP. Interestingly the company operates in ETO ( Engineer-to-Order) space and have a very big legacy of successful use of Baan 4 for more than 15 years. Their belief on the usage of Baan for ETO is so solid that, this new startup company is not looking for anything but Baan for their implementation.

I have always maintained that Baan has been one of the best products for ETO, discrete manufacturing and my own experience of 15 years, I have not seen more successful product than Baan in that industry. Agreed that Baan/Infor do not have a high recall these days in customer ERP evaluations, but this is going to change as we move forward and as more and more companies are realising that their efforts in only going for a brand have not given them good results.

More on this in coming blogs !
