I worked for a company that did an SAP modernization project. The IBM consultants did a large part of converting all the custom ABAP stuff. The idea was to get back to as vanilla SAP as possible and included a ton of Business Objects and data warehouse work as well to convert old reporting etc. They were constantly behind and decided to just push the load testing off the road map to hit the cio's arbitrary go live date. Within three days the data volume got large enough to grind the entire system to a halt and the company couldn't take, bill or fulfill orders. Of course the consultants were well out the door by that point. I spent months unwinding the stupid crap they did on the Business objects reporting side.
