Yeah, I've seen the term "sociotechnical" used to describe this relationship between software and process. A process is built in part for a system, and therefore the system in part needs to support the process. Changing the setup isn't just a technical challenge, it's a challenge in creating sociotechnical change. I think it's a very easy thing to underestimate.

Maybe "cybernetic", although that has largely been taken over by sci-fi connotations.
