Looks like a regular whodunnit.

From IT World:

A presale product demonstration software package that is key to Waste Management’s rancorous lawsuit against SAP has gone missing and both sides are claiming the other should have it, according to documents filed in a U.S. District Court.

Waste Management sued SAP in March 2008 in District Court of Harris County, Texas, 164th Judicial District, claiming more than US$100 million in damages in connection with an allegedly failed ERP (enterprise resource planning) project.

So, there must be backups yes? Apparently not.

But in a May 22 filing, SAP said it had the system until August or September 2006, but does not any longer.

SAP has “searched extensively” for the system and wants it “as much or more” as Waste Management, since it “will help SAP disprove WM’s fraud claim,” the filing states.

OK, so, WTF? No clue as to who might be at fault here but, it certainly doesn’t help SAP that they can’t find the demo in question.

I’ll be back. Going for popcorn.
