@emax could not agree more on this. There are stories to be told in what can go wrong. My problem I am not permitted to tell anything about my experience so. One topic on experience, a former employer told me, the SAP consultants get a company car and some more benefits because I can charge almost double the amount of a normal software developer in SQL or C++ (one like me) At that time I did a lot in the very bottom of the systems - like writing special drivers to network cards, packets, and other stuff. - Noone will notice. As long as does the job. No Business Department, No Projects, - no Parties, was here there.. he kept pushing me.. then I was in a very special project in a large customer. There were a load of so called experts hired from a consulting company much larger than the one that I was employed at. But at an occasion I had a chat with one of those guys. The experts hat just a 6 weeks course in the product and sold as experts.
So that has happened often enough. But on the opposite - doing an IT project its quite a lot more than just download install and configure.
Most companies do not do proper master data quality, - process chain and impact and lineage analysis.
This has even effects - so improper calculation of weight.. may impact on freight papers or payload.. - Entire processes. And the push from management - Get it cheap.. But a proper project means define the capability first, - what is what I need, then how long does it take to get it und finally on what cost. QoS and liability.. - rather low. The problem if cheap one doesnt deliver, gets an indent, - oh we go out of business and create a new company... so.. that is software quality..
