> Kind of like, nobody gets fired for hiring IBM, or using SAP. They are just so big, every manager can say, "look how many people are using them, how was I supposed to know they are crap".
I wouldn't necessarily say IBM or SAP are "crap". It's much more likely that orgs buying into IBM or SAP don't the due diligence on what the true costs to properly set it up and keep it running, therefore cut tons of corners.
They basically want to own a Ferrari and when it comes to maintenance, they want run Regular gas and try to get their local mechanic to slap Ford parts on it because its too expensive to keep going back to the dealership.
