The Arrogance of Standard Software
Most software comes with a hidden demand: Change how you work to fit our code.
If you want to track a specific type of RSVP, or link two corporate entities together, the software says, “Sorry, we don’t do it that way. You’ll have to use a workaround.”
That might be fine if you are managing a local bowling league.
But it is a disaster if you are managing the chief executives of Canada’s largest enterprises. When you serve VIPs, friction isn't just an annoyance; it’s a breach of trust.
You can't ask a CEO's executive assistant to "just use a workaround."
The Business Council of Canada (BCC) realized that aging software was forcing their staff to accommodate a rigid system designed pre-2015.
They decided to flip the dynamic. They demanded a system that conformed to their reality, their security needs, and their daily workflows.
They stopped compromising, and built a custom engine instead.
