I’ve been in a leadership position for smaller consolidation projects / standardization projects outside of DoD, but pretty large.
The issue is all answers are correct. A lot of the differences between the “standard” and whatever is out there come down to politics - whatever is being done somewhere isn’t necessarily there by design, it’s just there.
Usually, 80% of problems are solved by the big consolidation play. The 20% is the problem, because those are either complex technical problems or intractable political problems. Nobody can get a budget justified to spend more money on 20% of the environment, and the the people running the consolidation project push until they declare victory and get promoted.
