Mostly true. But how many systems are being chosen by the beancounters because they're "standard"? Not because it helps to improve sales, manufacturing or operations, just accounting functions? And then sales/manufacturing/operations has to adopt to the new, improved system?

If SAP and/or Oracle/Peoplesoft is that great, why are any other packages being bought?

Why is it "us against them?" as in IT vs the Bean counters? Duh...that is where I always had my greatest problems as a project manager..getting IT and financial to play nice in the same sandbox.

I hate to say it, but IT was always the worse of the two warring factions in 
this regard.  YOU ALL WORK FOR THE SAME COMPANY

An export tool has been used (and sometimes abused) for over 20 some odd years now. Accounting wants pivot tables etc...they can create presentations, they reformat and consolidate, and sometimes it is the only way to get consolidated financials from disparate systems.

If you had no idea why or if Accounting ever wanted spreadsheets, ask..if you 
think they don't...you've been living under a rock
