Sad to think that much effort has been expended just counting beans in this little city.
A whole hill of beans

It may be as simple as this...
SAP "I'm afraid Auckland Council does not appear to have a licence to use this software, Dave"
"But we amalgamated the separate councils, including their assets. We have a right. We did it with NZ transport Authority"
"I'm afraid you are not allowed to do that, Dave... -

So they should have picked the SAP implementation that looked the most up-to-date and usable (I know, strange concepts for SAP), and then used that one to enhance and build on.
Exactly.
As it is they are probably all getting new keyboards and monitors, oh and a cool new mousepad with a logo on it.Would it be too hard to network the existing databases then merge new data?
Sounds like a mornings work.

I'm sure plenty of people have advice for Mr Brownlee.

Why does it have to be new?
It doesn't.I was going to make the same point. SAP can talk to SAP, Databases can be merged and integrated. If anything I would have thought there would be redundancy created by merging the existing Council infrastructure. But...
“[The council] decided to get consultants in and build the SAP system from the ground up, ignoring all the existing systems and not leveraging any of that investment at all,” says one source. “The $70 million is a bill for Auckland’s rate payers.”
This is appalling.

Ah, so by Wild at Heart they mean Arseholes. It’s so obvious when you explain it like that.
And there I was thinking "Wild at Heart" was a reference to landing there, scary sometimes, well, most of the time actually.
ETA And. The thought of turning round and coming back the other way so the terrified passengers on the other side of the rattling plane can see how that sign is blowing in the gale force winds could put me off visiting Wellington forever.
Still, saves having to build a roller-coaster.
