I am new to this forum and I am currently doing a research on ERP/Financial Software Systems in Nigeria. I am hoping members of this forun might be able to help with the following questions:

1. Is there a market for other Financial Software Providers in Nigeria apart from SAP and Oracle?
2. Does anyone have any statistics on the number of SAP and Oracle Implementations in comparison to other Software providers for Nigeria
3. Does anyone have a list of Major/Large organisations or even SME's (in Nigeria) and the type of Financial softwares they currently use.
Thanks.

SAP vs Oracle
Today, the customer wants a trusted innovator and they are standardizing their business processes on proven platforms, platforms that are well integrated and global. The number one competitive advantage for SAP over a company like Oracle is integration.
Oracle has acquired all their growth, unfortunately for the customer, none of that has been integrated on a common platform; SAP has acquired all of its growth through an organic growth strategy.
SAP design application from the ground up to be integrated across business processes, end to end and this is done in 26 distinctly different industries.
For example, if you are in the consumer product business and you want to implement in order to cash business process, you know that SAP designed that with engineering in mind, from end to end and is ready to run out of the box.
Sadly, for companies like oracle, they have to interface different applications and deal with very complex implementations, because none of that have been engineered by design and they may be different pieces of different acquisitions all in the same solution and customers really have to navigate through that. This is very costly and risky for the customer. That is why Oracle continues to loose market share as in relates to an SAP.
