“On the tech side, the best and the brightest. On the business side, business as usual ”

May 30, 2017
Individual contributors at SAS are largely helpful and eager to share their expertise. With some solution providers, we feel like we're providing on the job training; this has never been the case with my interactions with SAS technical and business resources. The business side, however, is a challenge. SOWs change, contracts change, it's difficult to find an authority to 'approve' things, etc. We're also forced to hire a business/project manager for any business services contract, which is expensive and provides little or no value to the project.

Integrated Merchandise Planning Likes & Dislikes

Like

The ability of the solution to scale to our needs

Dislike

The unbelievably expensive, complex, time-consuming process required to change the metadata layer. The incredibly fragile, painstaking process required to reclass the merch hierarchy.
