I certainly don't want to defend SAP, but when enterprise software sucks, how much is the fault of the software and how much is simply the enterprise? If you started out with good software, could it survive an enterprise deployment -- and all the byzantine requirements and oversight -- intact?

When I did enterprise software, salespeople kept getting everybody in trouble by selling products that had never existed, in this business such practices are the norm, in fact in many enterprise software companies engineers are advised against speaking to "sales team"
