However, companies that have already achieved a return on their investments on applications from PeopleSoft and J.D. Edwards are not moving to upgrade. "We're not seeing anyone ready to rip out PeopleSoft and replace it with SAP, but that upgrade is in a holding pattern," said Oscar Perez, president of ERPWeb.net, a technology consulting firm. SAP said it wooed 40 customers away from Baan with a similar ad campaign when Invensys first announced its intent to acquire Baan in 2000. In other SAP news, the company announced that it is developing add-ons to its NetWeaver integration software that are tailored for the high-tech manufacturing and chemical industries. The extensions, based on the RosettaNet and Chem eStandard XML (Extensible Markup Language) data formats, will make it easier for different companies to exchange transactional information that's used in business applications, SAP said. The first industry-specific additions will be available by the end of the year.
