Re: Sap Bites the Dust at Sobeys ($81 million) !!!

Or just maybe the promised results failed to materialize.   That is 
becoming a more common scenario nowadays.   It is one thing if the back 
office is messed up because they're on various versions of Office, but 
when the shelves go bare because inventory was not replenished.... well... 
 management can not ignore that.  Heads must roll.

often these decisions are made for emotional reasons and not logical
ones. 

perhaps the guy that made the decision to go with sap was gone or had
lost favor.  or a new it manager came in that disliked sap and wanted
another product.  or they underpurchased their hardware and didn't want
to accept that.  or sap over promised and under delivered.  or someone
at sap was rude on the tech support line.  who really knows....
