Almost the entirety of enterprise software is built on a customerbase that are buying technology in an effort to make up for failures and inefficiencies in people and processes. Buying such software arrangements are a lot closer to buying a piece of a company than a basic technology project. The way companies approach their technology is as varied as how people approach food (and probably exercise). Some think of it as a necessary evil and eat junk food because it's cheap and sates hunger, some want tasty food from a reasonable supply chain, some cook a few things and eat out for special occasions or if they messed up and burned the food, and some keep going to chain restaurants because they are afraid / uninterested in deviating from what similar people with lack of sense of adventure do. I'm not sure if I can make the madness of enterprise software / technology more clear than using a non-technical line of reasoning because the reasons are simply not technical at all.
