Former company of mine got a board member who pushed his "solution" on us, and it fucked up so much of our ordering processes, things we didn't even SELL were being shown. It took a year and a half to fix this, meanwhile it also meant we were unable to reverse a sale because "underwear" was shipped out and we can't cancel it (meanwhile, we don't sell underwear, just networking services). So we had to wait for the system to close out the ordering process and THEN they could assist the customer. Of course, that board member left a year later, Probably very pleased with himself for suckering our idiot CEO. But that's ok cuz I got laid off of there, and I have no sympathy for that bumbling company. Idiots trying to outsource "solutions" that only added more pain for everyone. Sometimes these are actual problems that need solutions but half the time ... It's just more crap to make themselves feel like they're "saving money but not building in house". Yeah just now you have to pay contracts to support the crap you never built in the first place. Good job. Golden parachutes for all the leaders, I guess.
