My two-pennorth worth, for what little it's worth, is to ask a couple of questions.

How many users/records do you have at present?
What growth in users/records do your forecast?
How much support will you need?

I don't know how much Sybase will scale, but when we were looking at CRM systems, the choices came down to Oracle, SQL Server on WinTel, and IBM DB2 running on pSeries - SQL Server can really scale up now to compete with Oracle.

There's probably a lot more SQL Server bods out there than Sybase.

Hope this helps.
