This applies to pretty much any institutional IT (non-profit, education, etc). We waste an incredible amount of time and money badly maintaining systems just for hosting websites, for example. And not for any good reason, mind you--our systems are less convenient, less secure, and far more expensive than any competent third party host would be.

The time it takes to get a host set up is absolutely mind-boggling. There's talk about making changes, but it takes years to overcome years of bad leadership and apathy, and there's institutional inertia that actively works against modernizing.
