I'm going to use what you said to go on a little rant: One of the things that has jaded me the most in my career so far is dealing with people who want to spend company money purely for self-gain / promotion. Spending 50k-60k on software that no one asked for, and forced to integrate with, because it allows some manager to say they achieved X on their resume. Especially when I can just write something inhouse in less then a week that will do the same basic functionality, but wouldn't be as valuable because it wasn't built by a fully dedicated team or has the backing and support of company Y.
