Re: Buying into trouble

Yep...unfortunately, I've experienced this problem with my previous employer. Oracle told them that their current version of Oracle Financials can do so and so, and so we bought the software...only to find out that it couldn't do so and so...and numerous things were found and continue to be found, and the company was forced to spend millions for contractors, consultants, and ofcourse Oracle maintenance to get the software to do what it should have been able to do in the first place.
