I've always enjoyed the comic strip, "Wizard of Id," which is set in medieval times. Its creators died in 2008, but their descendants have kept the strip current for todays Internet age (see bit.ly/1d7elYK). Peasants (known, of course, as Idiots) rampage through the town waving signs that read, "The king is a fink!" Figure 1 shows the king's response. That same scenario is now exploding in the field of enterprise software. Last December, Avon (the makeup guys) pulled the plug on a new version of their order management software based on SAP. The Wall Street Journal in December reported the company's sales force of independent reps "found the new system so burdensome and disruptive to their daily routine that many left Avon."
