From a developer so in love with their design that they keep rescuing despite it's flaws, to a business owner throwing good money after bad to try and recoup what they've already laid out.

To blame it on the IT department is disingenuous at best. I learnt along time ago that I have bad ideas, learnt to recognise them and bin them. I've recomended approaches not be tried, I've recomended that they be ditched, yet still here I am trying "just one more fix" to a flawed project.

As for an IT department coming up with a solution to everybody's problems, that's a business head's outlook no competent propeller head would ever say that. If you heard it, you've either employed incompetents or crooks, or much more likely , it was because that was the only thing you were prepared to hear.
