> I don't understand why don't you blame the internal IT guys who did not nail the specifications for the SAP to work exactly as wanted in the first place?

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.

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.



This is not for me to prove or answer, but the OP who brought the anecdotal case here as "proof" that SAP is Scheiße. :)
