I've seen this happen where a mature business starts to functionally decomposes their business down to what they do and how they deliver. They then go out and buy products that do those things and link them in a chain with a DB. But each one of those is short about 10-20% in all the used to haves and nice to haves. So what then dawns on the business is they realize that the missing 10-20% was part of the business that was really important and they have dropped serious money on a bunch of products. And really all they needed to do was better understand themselves and build their own business infrastructure. But what you are saying about speed definitely rings true. But it's important to note IT failures that happen to new businesses are more or less written off as total business failures Usually resulting in the business going to the wall.
