In late 1999, Jack McCredie (UC-Berkeley) and Dan Updegrove (Yale) published in CAUSE/EFFECT an article based in part on discussions held at EDUCAUSE, NACUBO, AND Snowmass. The piece was titled "Enterprise System Implementations: Lessons from the Trenches" (vol. 22 no.4, pp. 9-16). The very title summed up the issue: enterprise implementations are always learning experiences, and often dogged by internal conflict. SAP is the leading ERP vendor in the world, with a growing number of Higher Education customers in North America and around the world. What is the response of SAP to McCredie & Updegrove's "Lessons"? How can we, as customer/vendor partners, work to truly learn these and other lessons? What changes do we need to champion within the cultures both of higher education and the commercial world to assure successful implementations and the looked-for return on institutional investments in enterprise software?
