Re: Interesting article...

I wonder how this turned out. A few years ago, a client of mine told me 
that a large homebuilder in the Southeast had sunk $35 million into an SAP 
installation, and still wasn't up and running. Never mind the fact that 
SAP didn't have software for the construction industry, the CIO sold the 
company on going with SAP. It sounded like resume' padding to me.

I never found out how that one ended up, but I'd bet that it affected home 
prices in the area.

Heres a little step back to computerworld 1998.  This is the worse case 
scenario of new systems
gone very wrong and this is applicable today as well.
