Specialized software is a market for lemons. Most businesses running off Excel spreadsheets are ill-equipped to judge the vendors in question, and more often than not the net result is worse than the Excel mess.
- cosmodisk 4y agoIf you are an average business with no internal expertise to evaluate vendors: well of course everyone's going to spin you whilst the money keeps flying out of your pockets. Smarter companies would at least hire people that could advise on such things.

I interacted with some companies where nobody would know shit about anything tech related but the senior managers were fairly well connected in the business world, so getting someone impartial who could advise on how to proceed wasn't too bad.
