I think this comment highlights your inexperience in enterprise it systems. There challenges facing enterprise IT are not due to there being no good engineers - because all of them are working in Silicon Valley. It is a people problem. Every department, every group, entry business unit is its own little kingdom that is fiercely defended by its workers. They cling on to it because that’s all they have done for the last 20 years. They know that if this system gets modernized, then their job is toast. Their job is vapor ware and they know it. Having worked with many state and local governments, I see that these entities are never in favor of a business process redesign that simplified things, unless the consultants carve out a special exception for their little Access database or somehow save their pre historic C# ASP.Net application.
