Albert van Wissen Exposed; Enron-style

Just a cursory review by a US citizen demonstrates how this is going down Enron-style. First look at finance.

Albert van Wissen is responsible for SAP's worldwide standards involving profitability. He joined TomorrowNow from SAP as Global Chief Financial Officer to oversee TomorrowNow. The TomorrowNow's president and founder required supervision from the start. All the precursors for Enron-style wrong-doing were present when Albert arrived.

The president and founder of TommorrowNow was a consultant at Andersen Consulting (of Arthur Andersen of Enron shredding fame - now renamed Accenture). Hence he was a "good fellow" in old-boy-wrong-doer speak. He then moved to PeopleSoft where he managed PeopleSoft consultants.

PeopleSoft acheieved ISO 9001 quality certification and was the apparent successful bidder for Washington State's payroll system.

(Washington State - likely owing to Boeing but also owing to a very close governor's race - is implementing quality programs which require such certifications from its vendors and yields problems for Microsoft - which is based in Washington State and, with the possible exception of PeopleSoft, rairly is associated with quality. ouch - a bit harsh - but true). The database that PeopleSoft favors is Microsoft SQL Server which SAP also favors. Then Oracle purchased PeopleSoft.

It is apparent that Albert van Wissen at a minimum neglected his duties and allowed TomorrowNow to wage a presidential vendetta against Oracle. It is more likely that Albert was fully aware as it is likely Ken Lay, founder of Enron was fully aware. Washington state eventually implemented the SAP payroll system rather than the PeopleSoft system.

What I am saying is that the TomorrowNow situation is likely part of a larger strategy involving protection of CRM market share from Oracle that top brass at SAP has to have orchestrated, possible with help from Microsoft.

Microsoft partnered with SAP in stealing (my opinion) the Peoplesoft/Oracle Washington state contract. Lets see more articles on this topic.
