That's kind of my point: the system has to be properly set up in the first place, with users that are clued-into how everything works.

Agreed, but with "magic software that will reduce costs by X percent", management does not always do a proper analysis of how things are supposed to work, they sometimes only see the promised bottom line. If you combine this limited point of view with a "universally-understood" attitude of, "Oh, well, next time the software will be able to fix that", problems happen and sometimes propagate. We don't want computer programmers doing piping design, do we?
