The new bill
A new billing system goes live without a hitch. Then a customer’s first bill looks nothing like the last, and she thinks it’s a scam.

A maintenance planner can’t raise a work order on go-live Monday. Then the same project starts with the end.

SAP's mainstream maintenance for its older ERP ends at the end of 2027. For a lot of companies, that means a new system, new screens, and thousands of people changing how they work, all in one go-live. Meet Sam.
He plans maintenance at a mine site. Twelve years in the old screens. He can raise a work order with his eyes shut.
On go-live Monday, he can't find it. The crew is waiting. The truck stays parked.
Now multiply Sam by three thousand. Picture the same project starting with the end. Before the build, a short animated story shows Sam's Monday after go-live: the new screen, the work order, the truck rolling out.
The steering committee sees it. The site teams see it. Everyone agrees on what's being built.
Then, at go-live, the same story becomes Sam's training. He's already seen his Monday. He just does it.
One story, from kickoff to go-live. I've spent almost thirty years inside twenty-eight organisations' projects, including BP, Santos and Suncor. I storyboard the user's day, you sign it off, and I make the story.
