> In reality, we're stuck in the equilibrium where companies cling to baroque workflows for everything, and vendors compete to support those workflows, sacrificing ease of use, implementation time, and agility. Enterprises are setup to support all of these baroque workflows and that's where most of the value is derived. However users and the business don't get that value, and the project to replace the previous one will deliver "value" to IT stakeholders. The cycle repeats. You have enterprise architects who in the worst case are creating uncertainty by supporting different factions and introducing new tools which interest them versus meeting goals for the company. IT outsourcing vendors are responsible for the implementation and frequently do a less than stellar job. Security are split between trying to keep tabs on how the outsourcer is running things, while trying to limit how much damage business areas do by just delivering their own solution with SaaS or a small vendor. This is a real mess that requires huge amounts of energy, and is hard to fix because everyone is doing pretty well from it in their own way.
