I am not from IT, but hearing lots of noise and emotional outbursts with our counterparts from IT and only thing every one is saying is this SAP implementation is the Historical failure and ki-led their time everyday beyond 12 hours(With useless meetings and so many XLs etc) and the partner never listens to any of the BH voice and they travel in the dark closing their eyes and taking the BH into the dead end sooooooooooooon

Next week is my last with this implementation partner (I am with them for the last 12 years) and I was in this proect until April, the project failed/failing because of our Leadership all along, none of these Middle Level, Architects and other top level leaders have no insight about the Business nor about the technology. They want to get more and more bonus by reducing the workforce and dumping work on few work bees and so for they succeeded, but for sure , I would say the Overall design between all these Legacy systems to these S4 CFI could be the Worst of Worst. Please be cautious when you work with these so called leaders like Managers, SMEs, Architects, Leaders and they know only one thing collobration at golf clubs, networking at bars as simple as that

Nothing wrong with sap if you know how to use it. Like everything else people expect you to use it with no training.

OFS & OFE members are in extreme stress, because of this failed SAP implementation by this wolf implementation partner that is hunting just for dollars and invoicing BH for multiple million dollars week after week, month after month , this is not 100% collapse, this is 299% Collapse.

“Baker had several high-level SAP experts with practical experience using it”.

And there’s your problem right there.
Baker doesn’t like Experts at the best of times, even more so if they are practical & experienced.
They tend to make the Brass look like the Self Obsessed Echo Chambers they are, & we can’t be having any of that can we?
And anyway, they can buy 3 Non-practical, Non-Experts for the price of somebody who actually knows what they are talking about, & that looks better for the PowerPoint Presentations.
True Professionals beware.

Singapore SAP IT members are so badly hit by these Accenture Team, World Worst Delivery Team, even in the Global meetings Accen delivery manager speaking in their regional language to the team.

Baker had several high-level SAP experts with practical experience using it; however, they concluded it'd be better to lay them off and save money on their salaries. On top of that, they don't really like people telling them how things should be done versus how they are doing them, so they'd rather keep their boot lickers. We'll say to them whatever they want to hear; this is what they really need to hear.

Oh just add it on to the list of very expensive systems that Upper Management have purchased to make themselves look good, despite having little or no technical or systems knowledge to do so.
I can think of several right off the bat that have made things more inefficient at best, & been a complete disaster at worst.
Keep up the good work – these posts would be funny if they weren’t true, but are absolutely hilarious knowing they are.

That's how Baker Hughes tanked BJ Services. Overnight lost them millions of dollars due to sending pivot table buyers over there to switch from JD Edwards to SAP.
