18 month project is winding down. I suspect it will have 1 use in the next 4 years we are supporting it.

The tool is basically a copy of the S3 browser, only shittier. The license for the S3 browser is only 20 bucks btw.

    A client paid us for a bespoke platform for managing invoice payments. Probably 20 man years sunk into it, they wanted to sell it to their customers but no one wanted it. They’ve just given up trying and axed it.

      OMG I just remembered this company that spent 5 years making a complex tool to use for SAP installs but nobody wanted it.

      But they didn’t just bury it like your guys, they started including it for free with other stuff just so they can claim “so and so is a customer” on the product’s webpage. 😄

      In their defense it wasn’t even such a bad idea, SAP installs suck, it’s just that nobody wanted to take a chance and would rather do them by hand As Is Tradition.
