I am sorry, but anecdotal cases of hickups in the transition between a bespoke system to an SAP one do not mean that SAP is useless. I don't understand why you don't blame the internal IT guys who did not nail the specifications for the SAP to work exactly as wanted in the first place?
And what is the take-home-message here? Should they have stayed with their (admittedly not good enough) internally developed system? Should they have gone for an Oracle solution (plagued with its own set of anecdotal catastrophes)?

Often times it's very difficult to correctly specify a system. This is one of the problems with lock files and why some people have gone over to docker for development. IMO, the people to blame are management, who needed to appropriately staff the transition for enough time to get it right. > Should they have stayed with their (admittedly not good enough) internally developed system? What evidence is there that it wasn't good enough? Sometimes management gets sold on a "better" system, only to find out that it isn't actually better.
