> Once a decision is made, it becomes everyone involved in the implementation's job to make it successful. The problem is the people who make the decisions are rarely the people who pay the price for bad decisions. I've worked with many vendors who promise integration will be straightforward and that their software is easy to extend to handle the last 10% of our business flow that it doesn't currently cover. In truth its usually a huge pain and time sink and it's the developers (on both sides) who end up working crazy stressful hours to get the project finished. How can you expect the developers to go the extra mile and fix your dumbass decisions when you didn't listen to them in the first place?
