Enterprises are abominably bad at IT as a rule and horrifically inefficient partly because they have made terrible decisions they are stuck with for decades or longer. The raw costs they pay to bloodsucking contractors that are nickel and dimed year after year is systemic, for example. Are you familiar with DoD contract price structuring by chance? Furthermore, are you aware of how desperate people are to deploy software onto something like AWS? There's a lot of reasons why the AWS office is in Virginia and is at least 50%+ security engineering in background. Trying to secure enterprise applications on-premise with the tools of the 90s is frustrating and typically an exercise in massive time wasting when most companies didn't even think about automation of work because the money was pouring in so much.
The amusing irony of this all is that IT is a cost center typically yet by trying to cut costs you wind up costing yourself so much over time.
