I always find it amusing when people talk shit about SAP and brag about giving them the boot. SAP already got your money... big deal, you cut off a few years of support fees. SAP grows and grows despite seemingly everybody saying how terrible the product is. My hat is off to them for finding (and heavily compensating) some truly talented salespeople who can consistently resell their turd to CEOs.

I should have mentioned that they got the boot during the sales process - so they hadn't won the work yet.

It wasn't a criticism of the SAP product - just that they the sales team constantly got a a basic thing incorrect in a rather dogmatic way.

Then it was the right way to select a provider. Realizing that during implementation is recipe for disaster. Wether it is SAP or someone else.
