Should We Rush Inconsisteny fixes When Risk is Low?

Let's chat about something we often run into in the SAP world: quick fixes. You know how it is – customers usually want things done yesterday, right? But is speeding through a solution always the best path?

Let's think about it. When a customer comes to us with a problem, and we know there's a fast solution that carries a tiny risk (like less than 10%), it's tempting to just go for it. Especially if we're not messing with anything in financials (FI), which can be super tricky.

But here's the deal: even if the risk is low, we've got to weigh our options. Quick fixes can be great, but they're not always the long-term answer. What if it's just a Band-Aid on a bigger issue? Sometimes, taking a bit more time to really dig into the problem can save a lot of headaches later.

So, my philosophy? If it's low risk and not in the financial zone, sure, consider the fast track

 

The Magic of Quick Fixes

Think about it: when you swoop in and quickly untangle a complex problem, you're not just fixing an issue. You're delivering peace of mind. You're showing your client that they can trust you to handle the unexpected with agility and expertise. This is huge in building long-term relationships.

Reputation Building

Every time we deliver a quick fix, we're also sending out a message: we're efficient, we're capable, and we're reliable. This is the kind of reputation that spreads. In a world where word-of-mouth and peer recommendations are gold, being known as the consultant who delivers fast can open new doors and bring in more exciting opportunities.

But, There's a Catch

While quick fixes are great, it's important to strike a balance. We should never compromise on quality for speed. It's all about finding that sweet spot where efficiency meets excellence. And when we do find it, it's worth talking about.

But always, always think about the bigger picture. What's your take on this? Have you had experiences where a quick SAP solution was the way to go? Or times when it backfired?
