Sometimes it is good to have to eat one's own words. A few weeks ago (it seems like history now) I gave a quote to one of our local journalists about the system IBM have installed to do all manner of clever things at County Hall. I have no idea what it is or does, but I think it is called SAP:“It is sad to note that with all the resources of IBM and all the promises given, this project is slipping and slipping. The Conservatives have consistently warned of possible delays with the implementation and our worst fears have been realised. This looks like yet another part of County Hall that needs sorting out by the Conservatives if we win the election.”
Well! How wrong I was. A quick call to Alan Thurlow down in Truro and I was convinced. SAP is really a soaraway success. So that's splendid isn't it. He even sent me a link to a new SAP video that confirms the good news straight from the Chief Officer in Germany. Eunice and I spent a very happy holiday in Germany once. I can't remember where. Or why. Perhaps it was our honeymoon.
