Is it me or are CFO's and Finance staff the worst offenders.
They like to hobble our budget's, then they put in a new system but whereas we have to jump through hoops and write up all sorts of made up documentation, they can spend $60,00 on two licenses as part of a "pilot project", then have the gall to request we set everything up, luckily the new CIO told them that we will provide the Server but you get the vendor to install and configure it all and support it.
Two years later, 4 different consultancies for various things like getting the product to talk to SQL and then pulling the data out from SQL to Tableau and now we find out they want to get rid of everything and just find a way to dump everything from our in-house system to Tableau.
We truly believe our CFO has something on our CEO with the stuff he gets away with.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
