One thing you can count on.  The vendors of software packages tend to attempt to 
make them as good and versatile as possible.  (Then there is SAP.)  So many 
times a well designed system will be better than what it's replacing.  Of 
course, some existing apps may be doing a great job, better than a replacement. 
There is no "one size fits all".

A good replacement should never make things harder.
