We may be surprised how illefficient companies are in organizing the creation of sophisticated things (including processes) for themselves, to use (so for the cost center column).

Higher management figures out things to do in strategic level, in brief, and pushes on "soldiers", who kick it through in the least time (cheapest of the cheapest, for the sake of the quarterlies) EXACTLY the way management told it. Because they have to, their job is to make happen the company objectives given, the way it is given. Pushing out crap in the shape of the thing expected.

Larger organiztaion can use these kind of things the most. Even if they don't do that.
