My company is still paying for really crappy software instead of using free alternatives. They just slap the label 'Enterprise' on something crappy, and sadly companies just eat it up. Granted, there aren't really a lot of free alternatives to most enterprise software... most likely because ERP middleware is not fun to do in your spare time.
