Don't know if SAP has changed recently.
But I used to work for a well known broadcaster who had been sold a useless heap of turd by some persuasive SAP marketing team. The most frustrating bit was not the names of the packages, but the fact that the programmers hadn't discovered resource files for internationalisation. A year after the system went live there were still 30% of field names and warning dialogs in German and we had to have handwritten scripts of what info to put in which (German named) field. Even after 18months the odd message would still pop up in Deutsche. Every change to rectify this involved a re-install and I can't think of how many hours we lost while waiting for bodged upgrades to be rolled back and told we could not charge our time to the rollout project.
For some strange reason it also appeared not to be written in any standard dev package. Either that or they hadn't worked out how to reuse graphic primitives and standard windows controls. Visually it was the kind of program a 10year old school kid would have come up with as their first program after "Hello World". It certainly didn't have any kind of intuitive user interface.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
