Often, I find it isn't about money. It is about the politics. Most of
us get to inherit stuff. As a consultant you inherit almost
everything. If the existing system is foully organized and exposes
the company to problems, capacity, security, performance, or
capability problems, there is all too often a desire to ignore and
hide the problem and pretend it isn't really there. This leads to a
bastardization to work around things. Management doesn't want to admit
they've fucked up in the past. This leads to that ever popular cycle
of "we're the new managemnt-let's change everything". Oldmanagement
would never admit to fuckups , new management wants to blame old
management and pretend that they have some great plan to make things
"better". Technical and real world requirements be damned.
