What you’re seeing are signs of a successful industry.

They have money to burn on irrelevant things. At the end of the day the IT system will typically not help your margin on a supply chain beyond a tiny amount.



The finance gig I had the IT systems were core business. At one point there I was in a meeting where I was the sole engineer and there were 14 project managers involved in my project. We all had a nice laugh about it but, again, this to me is a sign of a sort of sickness, not a sign of success.
