You can't just blame third party software or the people entering data. Indeed, this excuse just doesn't pass the smell test. Responsible vendors do (and not only "do", they advocate and insist on) practices like integration testing, and graduated rollouts (so that when process glitches like these inevitably slip through, they're caught when they affect 1 or 2 people -- not 50). Never do they blame "bad inputting of data."
