Every company needs individuals who are refined in the department of IT. Technology is how companies run; making sure that our systems are running smoothly and safely is as imperative to the success of a company that makes cupcakes as it is to a company that manages hedge funds. Not having the proper people running the proper systems can have disastrous results. These devastating examples from the 90’s might seem like ancient news, but one thing about history is that if we don’t learn from it, it is bound to repeat itself.
In 1996 a giant agricultural co-operative company bought about six million dollars worth of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software and services. After the purchase was finalized, everything went terribly wrong. A grand total of zero percent of the software worked as was projected and expected. Much of it could not even be properly installed on the purchasing company’s hardware. The company was forced to file a $20 million dollar lawsuit against the company who had provided the software. They eventually stopped paying the vendor and filed for bankruptcy. The vendor then proceeded to countersue under the umbrella of a breach of contract and denied any fault.
A Fortune 500 industrial supply company founded in 1927 was also taken out by an investment and bad advice regarding software and technology. In 1998 this particular company spent over nine million dollars on software and services. But the services, whose job it was to keep track of warehouse inventory, had constant and routine crashes. There was a six month period of time where this solid and longstanding company lost 19 million dollars in sales and 23 million dollars in profit.
