    Sage CRM is being implemented where I work and I think I'll be involved with this.
    I've being developing intranet based database applications for sales departments with sql server and asp.net 2.0.
    I wonder what to expect - how it will effect us and what sort of work we'll be doing.
    Does anybody know much about it?

    I did an interview for them recently and from what I could gather/researched or knew anyway:

    Originally a lot of Sage software was written in Delphi (either by themselves of by companies they subsequently bought - Apex, Coretime and in this case eWare). AFAIK eWare originally wrote their CRM is Delphi and Classic ASP.

    There are plans afoot to rewrite their software into C#, dotNet 2.0, and in the case of Sage CRM it would be ASP.NET 2.0 I presume. I do not know at what stage this process is at, i.e. whether you've the old manky classic ASP version or a new sparkling ASP.NET 2.0 version :D.

    My understanding was that I'd have been working in Delphi for a while before moving to C# (or atleast a mixed role), I would imagine this was legacy maintenance in parallel to their C# migration.

    Now as a senior software engineer - I interviewed for the senior software engineer position, but it transpires they were/are really looking for a software development manager, and I didn't get the job because I don't have the experience of a software development manager - as a senior software engineer. They did then come back to me for a software engineer at 20K less then my current salary - so frankly I think they're jokers. As a result their software either could be very good so they can be jokers, or as jokers their software is a joke - go figure and nuff said...
