Buckle up friends. This absolute hack job is about to be reality. I wish I could laugh at how poorly this entire thing has been built and managed, but at the end of the day it’s you and me who will be fire fighting for months.
Oh, and NA, hope you like this MVP because you’re not getting any new functionality for a LONG time. We still haven’t given GC new functionality 2 years later!!! Fast follow, huh?
Most our VPs are out for only themselves. Incompetent at inspiring and proficient only at overpromising through story telling, taking credit from those who dedicate themselves to actual work.
Need to remember what the last SAP upgrade did to us. Couldn’t ship product, couldn’t bill product, CEO’s of every major Customer screaming at us, new middleware dropping tens of thousands of transactions everyday. Think it will be better this time? Again we’re moving backwards in business functionality, and SAP will be more locked down than ever so we’ll be living with what we got until the next SAP upgrade. When the journey is always moving backwards, is hard to get anywhere. As an order-to-cash business is a lot of things we should be able to do but can’t. Being easy to do business with means doing things that are common industry practices. Make that stuff bullet proof, then be creative around the edges - we can’t even pick/pack/ship accurately, nor send shipping & billing data right. Every OTC business has to do those things right, all the cool/fringe/creative stuff depends on doing the basics right - but how many SAP installs and we still can’t do simple things? Unbelievable
From my experience JH motto is “over promise now, soon then they’ll forget”.
If f you commit to do something with less resources, you get rewarded more than if you actually get things done. She knows it and plays the game very well.
CF is to blame. Trusts accenture with 100’s of million$ of less than mediocre work. Back door back scratching, fake metrics. Nike employees on both sides will have to fix their failures.
There will be SEV1s, they will be fixed, and at the end NA will have a worst ERP than had before.
With a promise to many fast follows by FY25. But then the focus will be EMEA.
Company won’t stop. But none of the promises made will be delivered, ever.
Unbelievable. Many BILLIONS invested on this.
You people need to come up for air.
Everyone is just going along with the flow….this thing is going to implode.
What @hqz said. Seems most people who comment here work in IT. Those of us who don’t have no idea what this is. And don’t really care either.

Everyone that works with GT knows it, because for last two years all you hear is “we can’t do that because we are prioritising SEC”. If SEC undelivers, not only impacts that project, but also everything else that got postponed with it.
This project has been an absolute meat grinder. I feel for the folks who worked I. It.
90% of people here don’t know what it is, and probably don’t care
It's either going to get delayed again or crash & burn, Nike is like the government with projects like this. Incompetence & yes men/women at every level. Wonder how many more layoffs will result from the pending disaster?
