Red flags in SAP vendor demos

Let me say something counterintuitive. The better the demo…the more careful you should be. Because in real SAP environments, nothing is perfect. Data is incomplete.

Processes are inconsistent. Integrations break. But demos hide all of that. They show a perfect world — where everything just works.

No failures. No edge cases. No operational burden. But that’s not what you’re buying. You’re buying the ability to run this… every day.

So the real question isn’t:“Does it work?” It’s: “What does it take to keep it working?”

And if that answer isn’t clear — you’re not seeing the full picture.
