Installation of a new WAN

[edemel]

I need help and I am looking for the best solution!

In the next 8-10 months we are going to install a Wide Area Network
covering the US, Puerto Rico, Santo Domingo and Mexico. We are having
trouble deciding in using Novell or MS NT in our servers. We have heard

that Novell is easier to install and maintain than NT, but it is also
running behind in terms of being the best solution for the future.
We are also doing a research on the software we're going to use for our
Enterprise Resource Planning. We have looked into Geac's Smartstream,
Oracle's Oracle Applications, and SAP America's SAP R/3. Of these we
have decided in either Oracle Applications or SAP R/3, but the
information I have read about these over the internet has not given me a

clue of which one is the best. We are looking for ease of
implementation, maintenance, inter operability (between the modules and
third party applications if necessary), upgradeability and as a must of
being user friendly.
I will greatly appreciate any information or reference you can give me
to help me push this project forward.

Thank you,
