Thanks. Just to add one more thing, if I were asked to also develop and maintain ERP software in SAP PowerScript, would it be still a normal practice ? or it will be spreading too thin ?

While @PerfectGundam hasn't explained why his employer has such a diversity of platforms; ending up with significant use of several isn't that hard if you don't have the benefit of rewriting your legacy systems when you change platforms for new development. Cases where outliers are only a small fraction of the total can happen when an occasional niche doesn't have a good option on the companies preferred platform. And if the company is developing software for third parties; creating stuff to fit the customers preferred stack can result in a huge mishmash of platforms each used once or twice.

@DanNeely - oh, I have no doubt that's exactly how it happened. There's always a risk, for a small agency-type company, of saying "yes" to anything because getting the sale is more important than little details like "do we have anyone who is actually able to do this work?" :-)
