Well, okay, I won't argue with you much here. Let's just say that SAP is aptly named considering A) what it does to a company and B) how well it describes the people who buy it.
You would not believe the shitstorm of work that had been created for us at work because a client's migration from IBM mainframes running custom software to SAP is well over a year behind schedule and not working nearly as well as it is supposed to. Specifically the modules associated with the client's corporate accounting and how we, as a financial service provider, provide data uploads to them.
Bad, bad news. I have yet to find an Oracle or SAP deployment that is on time and on budget. Part of me thinks the sales weenies who set these deals up need to be trained with electoshock therapy until they learn to not be so optimistic...
