—” Every time SAP tried to kill its craptastic Business Warehouse software (BW) the works council in Germany would bring it back like a damned vampire zombie.”
SAP!
OHMY!
“Like a damned vampire zombie”, so I have heard.
At the megacorp I worked for, almost everything was ordered with SAP.
A young lady alone in a small office did it all... until one day they told her goodbye???????
A senior engineer was known to have a slight understanding of the system and would occasionally push the correct buttons to get stuff, but told any and all it was not his job and hated it.
He and I retired at the same time and I have heard that a few trainees have come and left the SAP position.
The young lady quickly found another SAP job with BETTER pay.
We have been putting data into SAP since 2004, and we still can’t get most of the data out.
Sure, the accountants get the qty shipped so we can get paid, but ALL of the other stuff is all still in their somewhere.
When we train someone to get the data out, they find a new job somewhere else before they right their first report.
SAP is right in the middle of car culture Bavaria where the ICE engine was invented. The EU will pry ICE cars out of their cold, dead hands.
