True, but let me continue that sentence: ... and as they have too little time for testing, they tend to resist all change.
There are a few very capable IT organisations that have a systematic approach to change. It would be a sensible thing to give them the necessary tools to manage change. One such tool is to delay browser updates.
But there are many more incompetent IT organisations that are overwhelmed and will keep the same browser version for 10 years if you let them.
I'm just making an observation. I don't know what the best solution is.
- tired_man 11y agoThe time isn't an issue at that level. They have specific tests for various situations and the time it takes, it takes. I've seen banks spend upwards of 6 months testing before instituting software changes to trader/production systems. As for capable IT departments, on the large corporate scale, they fairly bulge with competent people. Obviously not everyone's a star, but they don't suffer idiots to live. I don't upgrade anything until it's been on the street for a time. I let other people play canary.
