It's not bloat when you "need" those features (read: BIG Company)

Our problem as a < 200 person non-profit is that our teams are being convinced that we _do_ need these systems, and in that scenario it is bloat. We keep telling ourselves that we need to "grow into" SalesForce and all its ancillaries that we're paying outrageous sums for. And that growth looks so much like a balloon. We have more and more SaaS stuff to support but the same number of people to do it. And we think we're getting ahead.
