Comparison of Lawson vs. Peoplesoft?

Question

Looking to implement an ERP system for GL, AP, FA, Projects etc. Midsized retailer. Looking for users who have used both to give their viewpoint on strengths and weaknesses of both Financial tools. Particular interests in drill around functionality, workflow and reporting tools.  Also, any opinions on supporting the retail method of accounting in either package. Neither appear to have a specific "stockledger" package.  Just looking for opinions, likes and dislikes etc. from the user perspective. Thx!

Lawson is great for a mid size company, in certain industries. It was designed mainly around pharmacetical companies. Like many companies, it took that idea and tried to make it sound like a universal software. If you manufacture and need to have sharp cost accounting by unit, then Lawson is OK. I t leads a little to be desired in other industries (like retailing).

PS is a much better overall product. Many more value added features and modules are available. Since Oracle bought PS & JD Edwards, the word is that they are taking the best of all packages and creating a blended product (code named "Fusion").

PS is the hands down winner in this case. But, it is much more costly.

For mid size business, check out Infinium Software. Better price point and better functionality than Lawson for Retail.
