Why I hate SAP

SAP is a kind of dinosaur, except for being extinct... unfortunately, if I may add.

I cannot conceive of a corporation, in 2008, that still uses a licensing method of the XX century...
And to use an idiotic piece of software that requires Visual Studio 2003...

And in 2006, their official response was:

"SAP currently has no plan to release a .NET connector version that will support Visual Studio 2005. A road-map regarding .NET connectivity to SAP systems will be published soon."

ARGGHHHHHH!!!!

About a decade (or two) ago, there was a book written about SAP, describing how the company did business (top-down, smooze the CEO's and use them to crush any internal opposition). Does any one know the name of the book? If I could remember the name, I'm sure Amazon would have it.

Any system that implements day light saving by slowing down / speeding up the system clock was, in my humble opinion, designed / implementing by someone who could not find thier arse with both hand

This is total shit. I mean a complete pile. It is costing our company millions and our retards in Greenwich don't even realize it. Bullshit consultants should never run your company. That is a fucking death knell.

Let's talk about the benefits of SAP:

1. It's easy to say
2. Accountants like it because it does the work for them.

Now let's wiegh this against the dis-advantages

1. It's not flexible
2. It's counter-intuitive to efficent wor processes as it actually increases the need for head-count
3. It's very difficult to get any kind of ad-hoc reporting out of SAP
4. It's built from the inside-out. That is to say, it's an accounting package the forces change on your customer facing activities with little regard to the impact on front-line users or the customer. SAP is great is you don't give a shit about the impact to your ability to give the paying customer what they want.
5. You can not find a person that understands the modules, and thier impact on one another. Your will get an MM guy, or a FICO guy, or an SD guy, but you'll be hard pressed to find one that knows them all. This in turn turns your organization into a group of siloed, tunnel-visioned robots that lack creativity.

These are the facts. I am a former IT guy that is now a business guys on the ass-end of SAP. I seen things that work well, and I've seen things that sucks.

SAP sucks.
