Do we think SAP is a dying ERP and won’t be able to compete as more “custom” SaaS solutions that are more tailored to a customers needs are popping up more frequently and a lot cheaper?

No. Choosing an SAP or Oracle suite makes it easier for the company to find talent with background in using the tool. Niche/fit-for-purpose tools work best as an extension of the ERP if industry-leading—but that’s an exception to leading practice

When I’ve seen customers “go cheap” by choosing a vendor with less market share, they often struggle to find either employees or consultants/contractors that can run the tool at a salary/fee that the company can use——and then people are back to working only in excel and management is back to not having data for decision making

The miss in the upfront analysis is usually a total cost of ownership that includes finding more highly paid talent to run a niche tool. Big houses have a hard to approximating and the niche tool sales team will propose unrealistically low admin/training burden

Usually firms start with a smaller ERP, and move to SAP/oracle. So unless there is a paradigm shift surrounding ERPs, larger firms won’t be switching anytime soon.

Hello everyone, need a help from you.

Previously my HRA amount was 96000 per annum so I was submitting a rental agreement of full hra without giving pan card details of myself and first party.

How can I claim the full hra amount? I live in a rented house where agreement is between owner and my dad. Also owner will not accept for a fake agreement too.

Any other alternative do I have to claim HRA? Your inputs are welcome here

Hi - I’ve moved to Toronto (from Asia) with 5 YOE in Corporate banking + 2 YOE IB/capital markets (7 YOE in TOTAL) working roles in Front Office and financial analysis.

Could someone help by mentioning the salary ranges I can expect?

Also any tips on networking would be appreciated. Thank you!
