Enterprise ecosystem typically have best-of-breed IT solutions to enhance their productivity and efficiency. The common ones are enterprise portal, enterprise search, content management, and business intelligence. All of these will have to be integrated together to realize the stated business benefits, which is a humungous task and this integration can take a number of months.
The amount of time the internal IT team would spend in understanding the solution, deploying them and rolling it to the entire enterprise is also large. Add to this, the training and mentoring that needs to be carried out towards getting the end users to adopt the implemented solutions. All of these add up to the costs and most times, they are prohibitively expensive.

Software Development – The problem is of plenty, not scarcity
Software developers often are faced with a bewildering array of choices while developing software. Oftentimes frameworks, tools and technologies are mandated by client organizations to development teams. It is very possible that the team members are not exposed to at least one of the important technologies, tools or frameworks.
In the rush to shorten the learning curve and to get the development completed, very often basic development guidelines for successful development are ignored. Basic principles of object orientation and modularity of code are ignored and several transversal functions are unstated and are not met. This is discovered half way through the development and in order to accommodate various stated and unstated need, the development goals of code quality are almost never met.
