Speaking from experience in having built a custom ERP system:

It's often easier to convince people to change software to suit existing business operations than to change business operations to suit existing software. Usually, the person in need of convincing to change the software is an employee who will get fired if they don't. On the other hand, it's often the president of the company you have to convince to change business practices. And he might not even be entirely on-board for "that software shit" anyway. Also, programmers make a living out of learning new things, so it comes naturally to us and we don't think twice about it. Everyone else in the company is set in their ways and had hoped "all that learnin'" ended in high school.
