Season 1: Who Stole the Eiffel Tower?

When one configuration goes unchecked, reality starts to bend. Literally.

In the SAP system at InHouse Secure—a company building smart home and business security tech—the Eiffel Tower isn’t in Paris.
It’s in Brussels.

That’s what the invoices say. That’s what the VAT logic insists.
And if you ask the system, it’ll defend that decision with custom code and a straight face.

But this isn’t really about getting lost in the weeds of technical triangulation.
No—this is a story about those moments you realise something fundamental went wrong years ago.
And now it’s your problem to fix.

It’s about what happens when:

  • Trust dies a quiet death under layers of user exits.
  • Critical knowledge has already walked out the door, undocumented.
  • And your shiny new S/4HANA system inherits a workaround no one remembers building.

Who Stole the Eiffel Tower? is a time-jumping SAP story where every episode unpacks a different layer of the same mystery—digging into the config, the code, and the decisions no one thought would matter this much later.

Whether you’re an executive wondering why the benefits never arrived, a consultant trying to unpick ghost logic, a project manager managing the fallout, or a key user holding everything together post-go-live—this story is yours too.

Because the Eiffel Tower never really left Paris.
But somehow, in this system… it did.

Claire Dubois

The Executive

As CFO and executive sponsor of the SAP programme, Claire is used to high-stakes decisions. She’s got one eye on the board and the other on the bottom line. Claire champions transformation—but in the heat of a budget crisis or a missed milestone, will her vision for the future push the team past breaking point? Ambitious, strategic, and under pressure, Claire must learn that leadership during change is as much about trust as it is about targets.

Mark Henderson

The Project Manager

Mark is the one caught in the crossfire—fielding demands from above and panic from below. He’s organised, loyal, and fiercely committed to delivering results. But when the plan starts to unravel, Mark has to decide: protect the timeline, or protect the people? Every episode reveals another layer of a leader under pressure—part orchestrator, part crisis manager, part human shield.

Priya Singh

The Consultant

Priya knows SAP inside out—and she’s not afraid to tell you when you’re doing it wrong. She’s here to deliver a system that works, even if it means ruffling a few feathers along the way. But when the cracks start showing, will her dedication to “best practice” be her strength or her blind spot? Priya is sharp, principled, and driven—but this project might force her to rethink what it really means to get things right.

Marc Laurent

Operations Manager

Marc didn’t ask to be the face of the new system—but when go-live hit, everyone turned to him. He’s the Operations Manager who knows the floor better than anyone—and now he’s stuck between frustrated users and a system he’s still learning to trust. Outspoken, protective, and just a little burnt out, Marc’s fight isn’t against SAP—it’s against being ignored when it matters most.
