The only real difficult part is going to be the syncronization. OSCommerce will only work with MySQL, meaning that youd have to create a script that executes when a product is sold to update your ERP software. So, you'd need to know how to update your ERPsoftware on MS SQL erver through a script that's executed when an item is purchased.

Since you'd probably need more than just inventory to sync, you'd need to write a different scirpt for each thingthat you need to keep in sync, and place thin into OSC accordingly. Or you could put all of the syncing commands in one script and only sync periodically, through a scheduling program, like cron or winat.
