This continues unabated through many generations of IT systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ERP era in the 1990s was supposed to create a single system that would be used by all functions. It was heralded, implemented, and used as the&nbsp; IT&nbsp; backbone of enterprises. As these expensive new systems were installed, the IT management community instituted strong policies to make these systems stable and highly available. These policies made the system rigid and set up business processes that worked when the system was installed. &nbsp;&nbsp;Changes and updates were decided by IT management that prioritized and sorted change requests from business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><em>This is the <strong>\u201cExcel Bypass\u201d<\/strong> movement that has endured generations of IT applications.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p><br>Business needs and processes evolve rapidly, and employees were under pressure to operate at the speed of business. They learned to export data from ERP to their Excel sheets and bypass the use of the enterprise system because they wanted a personalized way to use data to make their own business decisions. Excel became the new \u201carithmetic\u201d skill that was necessary for most jobs, and employees felt empowered to create their own reports and make decisions based on them. They did not want to wait for IT to respond.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Enterprise data warehouses, big data and analytics, and data lakes were put in place by IT management to address the needs for \u201cpersonalization\u201d of information needed to make business decisions.
