Nice read for breaktime https://ca.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/ORACLE-CORPORATION-13620698/news/Lessons-Learned-From-The-Grouse-River-V-Oracle-NetSuite-Trial-43818745/

Isn't this just how every big consulting firm implements ERPs? Having the sales folks overpromise and then throwing the implementation team under the bus should practically be in the kickoff powerpoint. 🤣

You should have seen the discounted rate for EMEA PS for Micro Focus. I couldn't believe it.

"from the Project Manager overseeing the implementation, "I was given the poison chalice of Grouse River with its first Canadian omni-channel deal with a third-rate ERP consultancy team and with a customer that was promised so much and then left to fight my own battles." 🤡

Yeah, I read that and was like "someone has a new job now"

Note that it was pre Oracle era in 2014, I was involved with this company for couple of months as internal SME during early implementation, then walked away (300+ km commute was main reason), This company went out of business in 2017 after 10+ years in business. Didn't know about the lawsuit with Oracle and I was really surprised to see this article. Now wondering why no one reached out to me for testimony (Thank God no one did).
