by: Elvin Uy (986)





1. This incident illustrates some of the potential problems for small software developers working with giant software manufacturers to extend or enhance their products. Provide two good reasons why small developers should still consider working closely with large software firms.

The two good reasons why small developers should still consider working closely with large software firm are so that they could use the connections of the large software firm and for the business will still last to the industry for more times. These reasons might useful for small firms software developers to know as they are included to the huge firms as people might seen and it includes as an advertise to the users being part of a well known large firms and will definitely grow also being a large firm company.


2. What measures could LimitNone have taken to better protect itself from Google’s alleged actions? What measures could Google have taken to protect itself from this lawsuit?


As for limitNone must be more careful and have their strategies for their protection regards to the information that they will give from Google’s alleged actions, as well same as Google must protect itself and being also in business with LimitNone to avoid from this lawsuit.


3. Do research on the Web to find out how this case is proceeding in the courts. Write a short summary of your findings.



(state law claims preempted where defendant allegedly fraudulently induced

2. Waste Management Sues SAP for Alleged Fraud and Breach of Contract

1. What actions should WMI have taken to lessen the risk of this project and avoid these problems?

To avoid these problems, Waste Management, Inc. (WMI) together with SAP should have their understanding bot  each other and the both parties must have their agreement regards to the problems so that there were be no conflict issues and encountered problems at all both sides.


2. What sort of losses has WMI incurred from the delay of this project? How has the lack of success on this project affected SAP?

 Aside from losing their customers, they will also lose their sales and profit, that may cause to lose their jobs and business



3. Do research on the Web to find out the current status of the lawsuits between WMI and SAP. Write a brief report summarizing your findings.


Waste Management’s lawsuit against SAP for a “complete failure” of a $100 million software implementation boils down to promises. What did SAP promise Waste Management? And how much responsibility does Waste Management bear for believing those promises?
According to Waste Management’s complaint, SAP said it could offer an out-of-the-box ERP system with no customization. Waste Management’s reality was different. That disconnect isn’t all that noteworthy. Enterprise software companies typically say there is no customization required and customers still need to tweak. What’s interesting is that Waste Management is going after SAP in a very public manner. I’m familiar with Waste Management from a previous case study on the company. In a nutshell, it’s a giant company that has been built via acquisition. Legacy systems were everywhere and a good chunk of them were outdated. From 2003 to 2005, Waste Management was becoming more than an army of small waste hauling firms and an integrated company. In 2005, Waste Management was looking to overhaul its order-to-cash process–billing, collections, pricing and customer set-up.
