SAP R/3: The Real Thing...

Our company, in the petroleum industry, is currently investigating the
implementation of SAP R/3.  It looks to have a major impact on the shape
and future of our computing capability.  I am looking for people that
would be willing to share their experience of SAP's R/3 product.  

Two of the major issues facing us are:
 - the implications of migrating from a mainframe DB/2 site to a
   client/server R/3 site; 
 - the implications on current and future development initiatives: SAP is
   supposedly an "open", or "soft" package, but integration issues still
   loom ominously in some of our minds.

In particular, I would be *most* interested in sites that evaluated R/3
and decided against it - (I suspect we would learn the more realistic
aspects of R/3 from these sites?).  I would be happy to take up any
further discussion telephonically, through e-mail, or here on the
newsgroups, as you prefer. Any assistance in this regard would be greatly
appreciated.  Many thanks in anticipation.
