SAP and Oracle ERP News
.
So who’s winning the ERP war? SAP has stronger market momentum, better articulated value for next-generation apps, and a better partnership strategy than Oracle.

Oracle versus SAP – 2008
.
I’m pretty comfortable giving my stack ranking of current enteprrise HR vendors. PeopleSoft HR, SAP HR and then Oracle might make the list. Everyone else in my opinion is a tier 2.
