I've never, never been a fan of SAP. It's unweildy, it's complicated, and it's hard to maintain. The CIO who signed for it, and had it implemented left the company a year after the final implementation and the next CIO was left with the mess. We here in HRIS cuss it every day, especially when the OTI between SAP and ADP goes haywire or if the data warehouse goes down, which it does at least once a week. In fact, our data warehouse is so messed up, it's leaking data. The only way it can be fixed is for all of its tables to be reloaded in entirety, which as you can imagine, takes forever. Our SAP data warehouse not only contains HR data, but also data from our manufacturing, sales, and finance functions. The Finance and HR functions are migrating to Lawson whilst the other functions will stay with SAP, although our HR historical data will remain in SAP, so we'll still have to contend with it.
