Enterprise Development
IT has its faults for sure, but another problem is internal company politics. Too many bosses pushing too many needles constraints around in order to satisfy their continuous thirst for power. This is why software ends up replicating organizational structure, with assigned permissions of whom can do or see what.
Software’s true essence is lost amids the crust of needles decorations designed to enforce policies. Then you end up with an uniform rigidity, coming from countless constraints that rarely add value. Soon every aspect that could be handled by simple and direct communication will grow to something artificial.
There is nothing to be gained by going down this route. Applications like Basecamp and Backpack are living proof of this. Just do the bare thing that software needs to do and let people sort out the rest. It’s not enterprise features you should shop around, its the solutions to problems faced that needs to be addressed.
Cut the red tape, seek out the essence, solve the problem!
