company i was laid off from in january had EDS in to help with the
integration of JD Edwards ERP software with our existing systems. it was a
flustercluck from the beginning, the refused to use our incident tracking
system, they used excel spreadsheets for incedent tracking and wanted one
of -our- employees to manually enter the incidents into our tracking system
and enter the resolutions back into their spreadsheet :( the project went
$500K+ over budget :( and still works like crud.
