The definition of enterprise software is “the customer is not the user”. You don’t have to make the user happy, just the CxO.

And this is why the most polished part of most enterprise software packages is the dashboard/reporting function, the only part the C-levels might actually touch themselves.

Wouldn't productivity from better UI be something measurable that can be then advertised by vendors and extrapolated into savings for the customer? I feel like that could be a pretty compelling selling point to the CxOs.

How do you measure how much MS Teams sucks compared to Slack? All the CFO knows is that they have an enterprise license for Office along with Teams and the salesperson they talked to showed them how great it integrates with the rest of the suite.

In the EHR space, all the CMO (chief medical officer) cares about is it helps keeps them in compliance. Why should they care if it’s hard for their office staff to use?
