That's very true but still, in my experience anyways, it's much easier (i.e. perceived as 'less risky') to buy SAP and attempt to roll it out than to convince others that custom software would be better.

'Custom' is scary in a way that 'customizable' isn't.

It's hard not to wonder what might happen if more managers and executives became aware of "The Inner Platform Effect" and that "customizable" often just means "custom, but a worse, more expensive programming language".
