Oversell their product. Undersell it's implementation difficulties. Bamboozle the client with unnecessary jargon verbiage - and try to do so with me - whenever they make a mistake (Which is often) Charge for their time when they're correcting their own mistakes Pretend they understand Networking and TS when they don't And most heinous of all... Drive an Aston martin DB70 *to the client's front door* OK, just one consultancy group but they were sold to the client as a particularly competent SAP consultant. -----Original Message----- From: Bernd Harzog [mailto:berndh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 20 May 2005 14:13 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Managing SAP on Citrix Ok, I'll bite.

For those of you who are supporting SAP on your MetaFrame farms, what would be the significant challenges that you face? Please let me know the order of the ones that I list below, or write in ones that I did not list: 1. Getting blamed for SAP performance and reliability problems that are the applications fault, and not the fault of the MetaFrame infrastructure 2. Proving that SAP can run as well on Citrix as it can in a fat client mode 3. Keeping up with changes in the application that are driven by the business, without sacrificing performance or reliability 4. Getting SAP to run on Citrix at all 5. Getting SAP to scale and perform well on Citrix Please just reply to the list so that everyone can benefit from your insights.
