WOW

the UN is going to roll out SAP

Early, but unconfirmed, reports from inside the UN estimate the value of the SAP contract at $300 million, which would make it one of the largest public-sector ERP deployments for SAP.

selection criteria:

"the software's performance in low-bandwidth locations, so as to ensure its ability to support remote peacekeeping operations."

I can understand this

To me, application flexibility and ease of use seem like they would top the UN's list of must haves. SAP's applications, on the other hand, have been dogged for years by complaints of complexity and difficulty of use.

This seems weak, ever ERP package is complex, but the user interface doesn't  have to be complex.

 

The real issue is people and leadership. Success is really based on the people.
