And that couldn't possibly be down to a lack of training, or a lack of
support from the SAP implementation team during the transition?
I've been on countless sites where people blame SAP for their business
issues, when the company is too tight or shortsighted to put together
even the most basic education for the enduser community. There seems
to be this belief that you can sit someone in front of a computer and
they will just pick up whatever app it is. That may well be true for
basic use of an app like Word, but I wouldn't trust my business to a
community of undereducated users.
Not saying that's the case on your site, but I've been on plenty where it is.
