The Year of Corporate Software

A sharp, human tour of enterprise tool-tax and friction

Corporate software is rarely "broken" in a dramatic way. It’s usually functional enough to ship the quarter—yet exhausting enough to drain momentum day after day. This book is a clear-eyed look at the friction and how to reduce it.

For

  • Engineering leaders and managers running delivery inside enterprise systems
  • Builders and tech leads navigating tool sprawl, approvals, and process drag
  • Product/program leaders working across procurement, governance, and execution
  • Anyone responsible for making the machine run — and making it run better

Inside

  • Enterprise tool-tax and the invisible cost of friction
  • Why standardization becomes control (and how to prevent it)
  • Incentives, risk avoidance, and process replacing judgment
  • Identity/access, ticketing, procurement, collaboration platforms
  • How temporary integrations become permanent
  • Practical ways to simplify workflows and restore decision rights
