Bad choice of words. They are not incompetent.
It's just that the data challenge has become exponentially harder as the world moved away from centralised EDW and ERP systems.
And the level of investment hasn't caught up.
- ehnto 2y agoThe level of investment went from having a team and internal software services, to a $60/month SaaS subscription(s) in many places. The web of SaaS many companies run on will never be as coherent as a purpose built ERP, as every service is generalized and abstracted concepts don't map perfectly to your business. You see it often, where a business will inherit the models of the SaaS they use instead of what makes sense to their business, as an attempt to map the two entities better.
