That's my assertion - those things like 'Time' can be developed by an AI primarily because there is no requirement of an existence of a community from which to hire.

It's an example of a small ERP system - no consultants, no changes, no community, etc.

Large systems (Sage, SAP, Syspro, etc) are purchased based on the existing pool of contractors that can be hired.

Right now, if you had a competing SAP/Syspro system freshly developed, that had all the integrations that a customer needs, how on earth will they deploy it if they cannot hire people to deploy it?

Not to mention Sage's midline - Sage100 is incredibly cheap and effective for it's cost. I mean it's ridiculous what a mature software can do. Everything under the sun basically for a pittance.

It's certainly not "SAP 10 million dollar deployments". we see implementation rarely run into 6 figures for SMB distributors and manufacturing firms. That's less than most of their yearly budget for buying new fleet vehicles or equipment
