Robert MacMahon, CEO at the Australian Wine Society (AWS), said he was contacted by SAP's Australian managing director, Tony Harris, on March 19, after the story on its R/3 problems appeared in Computerworld Australia. MacMahon said Harris threatened the AWS with litigation after an AWS spokesperson labeled its SAP installation "a dog" and said the enterprise resource planning software vendor had "oversold" the system's capabilities.
