Allegedly Rigged Product Demo In SAP Suit Goes Missing
narramissic writes "Waste Management sued SAP in March 2008 over a failed ERP project. Now, well into the pre-trial discovery process, a presale product demonstration software package that Waste Management says was a key element of the 'false representations' SAP made to 'induce Waste Management into entering a software licensing and implementation agreement' has gone missing. Naturally, both sides say the other has it. And SAP, for its part, says it has 'searched extensively' for the system and wants it 'as much or more' as Waste Management, since it 'will help SAP disprove WM's fraud claim.'"
I'm pretty sure that I see "incompetence" stamped all over this. On BOTH sides. WM is so impompetent, that they need software to manage their company. Software is no replacement for managerial skills. SAP would have us believe that they are so incompetent that they only ever produced ONE COPY of a presentation software, with no backups. And, they've lost it.
The judge needs to have all parties flogged and thrown in the frigging DUNGEON. Feed them watery gruel for a year, let them out, and see if they are ready to proceed with a trial.

Who do you think right that pile of crap known as SAP? technical people.
Proof tech people don't necessarily have a conscience or morals.
