Would you work for Baan/Invensys?

I already worked for Baan

I'm working for Baan for nearly 12 years now, and I still enjoy it.

Hi Gerhard,

Good to hear some positive news from within Baan!!! What are you involved in within the company?:cool:

Hi patvdv,

I'm responsible for a group of technical consultants.

Hello Gerhard,

Let's hope your group can help to strengthen our community here :)

And lets hope they are better than Baan support... because if that worked, we wouldn't need forums like this

I worked for Baan Support for 3 years. It is a good company to work for, but a very stressful job.

When I started using Baan I worked for Baan support for 2 years - doing mainly 2nd line cases and working on defects. A lot of fun and a good experience. Probably why I'm still working in the Baan field now!:)

I worked for Baan Support for two years and now I am in
Baan Development. I think it is a great place to work.
I am well aware that our application has its shortcomings, but
functionality-wise, show me a better one.

I know that is not the subject of this thread but i cannot read that without reaction...

Baan ERP has good points compared to other ERP (i compare to JDE and Peoplesoft FDM, don't know SAP, O. Application). Manufacturing is very gread, finance integration is really powerfull and easily configurable (believe me...take a look to peoplesoft finance integration : you are able to do 20 % of baan is able and with a lot of more headache).

But general ergonomic is very poor. We are mandatory to completly redisign sales order entry because it take 5 times more that our actual system to enter an order (and more time than in Triton 3.1). This ergonomic problem is present on many parts (specially in distribution and finance) : too much screen, too much click....

Other strange thing : it is not possible to use a lot number that end by numeric!! We have done a big modification about that.

The list can be long....

I like baan ERP, I think it's really better than Peoplesoft FDM and JDE. But functionnaly there is alot of things to improve.

Pierre.

I worked for Baan for 3 years and am now with an partner. I worked as the System Admin for Baan Education Americas. It was a very good job just very stressfull. I think with the right oppertunity I would work for Baan again.
