== Most people hate SAP but don't know what to do. Caught in catch-22, they hate it, but don't trust any other options==

I think it is worth pointing out a little nuance I learned while working at SAP.

- The IT department tends to hate SAP due to its insane complexity and never-ending configurability.

- The business users (procurement, A/P, finance, etc.) tend to like it because once it is set up, it “just works” for them.

It’s important to know that the buyer and user might be different folks/departments.

I've seen the sausage being made, so no longer want to eat it.

But the users, still think it is good enough. They don't see the ugliness on back end.
