    ByPrimary Researcher

    Introduction

    IT departments can often interfere with obtaining the software that business departments need.

    On the Topic of IT Departments

    … do you know the domain — the result is false insight.

    … driven by ego.” Three weeks later, Simpson went to a Black Lives Matter event in downtown Los Angeles, where she shouted profanities and homophobic slurs. “Black Lives Matter is crooks!” she yelled. – NY Magazine
    BLM is not only toppling white supremacy, they are also keeping the money they promised to give to families and have a system of insider-controlled consulting firms that bill BLM hundreds of thousands of dollars in single transactions.

    … an overly one-sided or overly optimistic description of the project.
    Every single case study presented is a success and transformed the company fundamentally.
    One of the biggest dangers of consuming vendor-produced case studies is that they come across as purely marketing collateral. The software vendors and their partnered consulting firms present them as representative of the experiences of their customers experiences with the software.
