A Day in the Life of an SAP Manager: Providing User-Friendly Solutions.

After so many years (dozens of years should I say) in IT I am still surprised to notice how difficult are

the relationships between the users and the IT departments. Whatever technology, and how “high”

this “tech” is it is strange to see the same behaviors from IT people against this very-difficult-tocontrol

population of users. Coming from IT with an Engineer degree in MIS in the early 70’s, I was

already taught that there was nothing more important than understanding the user’s need. And my

teachers already warned us that we

should not be arrogant against users if they don’t understand what we say. Instead, we should try to

really understand what the real goal was and find a good way to solve it using the available

technology. And at that time we did not have all these software and hardware solutions of today. After

some years in projects, I found myself attracted by sales and marketing. For most of the cases, I was

selling tools (we call them solutions), that should help people already bothered by not very userfriendly

solutions. And today I can still find in my day to day business the same reaction from IT about

users and the same grumblings

from users against IT. And it is so identical whatever the country, France, Germany, USA, etc.Plus ça

change plus c’est la meme chose, as we used to say (The more it changes, the more it’s the same).I’d

like to share with you the various situations where I found the same strange irrational reactions, in IT

users relationships. These days, the tools we sell are there to facilitate and automate some day to day

job for SAP user. A SAP user is actually an employee of a, sometimes very large, company that has

implemented (or is in the process of implementing) this well known ERP called SAP R/3 (from the

German company SAP AG.) to process finance, sales, purchasing, production, personnel etc. data. But,

of course, that blog could be extended to all kinds of users of IT technology. Yesterday I called one

person from a large chemical company. He is located in France and looks for solutions to ease this

company SAP European users job. That includes ways for automating some uploads

and downloads between SAP and Excel. So he downloaded a trial version of one of our tool some

weeks ago. The question was mostly, “do we buy your tool or do we buy a software built by our

Spanish subs partner. They look similar. I’ll let you know. ”When I called back some weeks later he

was a bit embarrassed:“Well, we got a decision from our US HQ that they will develop a specific ABAP

program every time this question arises.” He said.

“Don’t they believe a generic solution would be more efficient? Do they currently have all the people

available to timely respond to all users over the world having such needs?”, I replied.“It looks they

have enough people, and it may happen they are afraid to lose even a part of the programming job”

Sure they have enough people! Since they cannot provide a solution in less than 3 weeks for any need,

most of the users will work by themselves, manually when they have an urgent need, and never tell

them what their real problem is.

At the end they will have two false impressions:

- One is that they do a good job since nobody is complaining

- Second is that the users have no real need for some task simplifications

And the whole company loses thousands of days of productivity that could be used in more interesting

tasks.
