Army's Huge SAP Project 'At High Risk' 166
itwbennett writes "The Army's $2.4 billion SAP project is delayed, over budget, and, once implemented may not even meet its original objectives, according to a recent auditors' report. For its part, the Army is less concerned with the auditors' findings about the project that will manage a $140 billion annual budget and serve nearly 80,000 users once it is complete: 'The Army believes the risks identified in this report are manageable and do not materially impact the [project's] cost and schedule,' said an official with the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology)."

1. It's written in fucking COBOL
2. It's the vilest user interface I've ever seen. I have no idea how anyone could come up with something that bad.

My company recently switched to SAP... it more than doubled the time it takes us to do anything. that software is garbage, yet people keep buying into it. they have great salespeople.
Now the US army is switching to it? The military will shut down. We joke that the Germans (it is german software) are getting the world back for beating them in WWII.
You can't understand how bad this software is until you actually see it.

- The user interface is the worst of any software product I've ever used, and I'm not exaggerating.
- The user documentation is even worse
- I'm told the developer documentation is worser still, esp. if you don't speak German.
- COBOL is so fucking awesome.
- It costs a leg, an arm, your first born and your left nuts. Oh and your soul.
