Technology One to zap SAP and go global says boss

IT Industry - Market

"We're seeing now that companies are replacing Oracle, SAP and Microsoft products with ours," Di Marco says.

"We'll be talking more about this soon but this is happening across the board and we see this as a trend for us. One of our big growth areas over the next three years will be replacing SAP and Oracle sites.

"There is this huge dissatisfaction with their products. People really are very unhappy with SAP and Oracle products."

Aside from retail and manufacturing, where TechOne does not intend to play, Di Marco sees all enterprise sectors as viable targets to unseat the monolithic enterprise rivals.

"In the markets we target, people see us as a very strong alternative and they're starting to move to that alternative," he says.

"It is interesting to see that happening because we've not expected that. We expected that our growth would come from people that were replacing products from smaller companies but we're seeing that even the big multinational products are starting to be replaced with our products."

According to Di Marco, TechOne has now started to replace SAP as the number one supplier to Federal Government.

"We've now got about 40 or 50 agencies and it used to be us and SAP and it's now turning to be us number one and SAP number two."
