Familiarity is the enemy: On why Enterprise systems have failed for 60 years
An essay contends that enterprise knowledge management systems have failed over 60 years due to buyers prioritizing familiar, risk-averse vendor and tool choices over technically optimal solutions, leading to over a quarter-trillion dollars in cumulative losses and unfulfilled promises of organizational intelligence. The author proposes a graph-native, AI-powered architecture that automatically extracts structured knowledge from unstructured content without manual input, citing Nubank’s successful adoption of unfamiliar technologies (Clojure, Datomic) as evidence that prioritizing problem-fit over familiarity can drive transformative outcomes.
