I am a common rube, what is this?
edit: god rube is such a fun word
It's a software suite for managing company finances, but can do way, way more if you keep slapping bullshit on it. You can run a retail operation through it, for example.
It's a big, irritating "do anything financial for any type of business" app, and like most "all in one" tools is horribly over and under designed.
Working with it is brittle, stupid, complicated and expensive.
I’ve seen a factory being shoehorned into using it. Maintenance planning and all.
Needless to say that its not working out well.
