My Favorite SAP Quote

Posted on the 29 February, 2008 at 4:05 pm Written by Scott Whitlock in Archives

We were doing a MES requirements and selection engagement for a large Medical Devices company that had just spent A LOT of money on SAP globally.  They were determined (as they should be) to give SAP a fair shake on whether it could handle the MES requirements.  So the final selection was between SAP and other best of breed MES solution providers.  At the time, SAP only had one regulated customer that was using PP/PI for MES.

The customer had Account Managers that were responsible for interfacing between the business and IT.  One of them had this famous quote (which is probably only funny if you have been in MES for a while):

“SAP has like 40,000 tables, surely some of them can do MES.”
