Ironical Statement of 2010


SAP, the German software maker, said on Monday that it would focus on restoring its damaged customer relationships after a surprise management shake-up that cost the chief executive his job.”

The above statement, to me, is the most ironical statement of 2010. Yes, it is only the second month of 2010 but we have the irony of the year. It will be hard to beat.

Why I find it ironical? Because a company which has proudly helped thousands of other companies in building and maintaining relationships with customers has to work hard to maintain its relationships with its own customers. I think they should have installed some of their own systems for which they are charging a fortune and may be they could have avoided this situation. In case they are using their own CRM systems and still they are in soup, then they should stop selling it.

You can catch the whole story here.

    Truer words were never said Adesh. A company like SAP which rules the ERP market should have done some basic ground work. Thanks for sharing this with everyone. It is time the giants realized that nothing should be taken for granted.

    Basics are often forgotten and neglected in businesses and that becomes one of the reason of their demise.
