Write a report summarizing a brief summary of what occurred and significant common factors evident in all failures that contributed to the project failures
Waste Management Inc.
In 2005, Waste Management was looking for a new revenue management system, according to a company statement. "SAP proposed its Waste and Recycling product and claimed it was a tested, working solution that had been developed with the needs of Waste Management in mind," the Waste Management statement reads in part.
SAP promised that the software could be fully implemented throughout all of Waste Management within 18 months, according to the statement.
In March 2008, Waste Management sued SAP for the US$100 million to recover the funds it had spent on the failed ERP implementation. In the lawsuit, Waste Management accused SAP of fraud and deception. SAP countered that Waste Management failed to present knowledgeable workers and accurate business models and failed to migrate data from legacy systems.
Explanation / Answer
SAP is a software solutions company which provides technology to support day to day and complex functions of the organisations. Acquisition and implementation of SAP is a costly affair and entails a long period range for successful implementation and maiatainence of same in the organisation. It requires highly skilled manforce in the organisation which wants to implement the same.
In the given case the statement made by SAP management statement is not misleading as it states the minimum time to implement the waste management system and the time period and cost could extend if the organisation which wants to implement the same is not able to describbe its needs and not having the efficient work force who will be using the same system.
On the other hand the Waste management co accused SAP of fraud and deception which is not correct as there were deficiencies on the part of waste management co also.
