I think this is a common occurrence with government IT spending too. I worked as an electronics engineer for a short time as a contractor. They paid huge sums for some software archiving / source control / versioning program that can't actually handle merging (if I work on version 2 and check in my version becomes version 3. If you were also working on version 2 and check in version 3, you overwrite my changes, unless we worked on different files. It is as if the people who implemented it didn't really know what version control is supposed to do). So everyone ignores it and uses git or svn ti develop, and only copies to the expensive official program when coerced. When we tried to explain to management why we used svn instead, management flatly refused to believe merging source control a la svn could work in principle.
