This is almost always because the basic process needed to produce the output required isn't mapped to start with. They just buy an off-the-shelf software system, inheriting the process that's inherent in that software.
Often it is not just inefficient, it's counterproductive and worse than manual systems. But no one wants to hear that because that takes effort and buying an off-the-shelf system takes no effort.
This is absolutely bang on. I found myself again questioning if the new processes I’m trying to implement (inherit) are actually better, or if I’m just trying to avoid the sunk cost.
