sophiaserpentiaTo be honest, I'm not terribly worried about Matrix.
I've worked in the IT industry and can make a reasonable guess that officials were sold on the system by a team using a highly-scripted, very limited, barely functional "mock-up" of what the system "will" do once it is "complete."
A product of this scope must surely suffer from massive amounts of mission creep as well. The mission for even a simple product like the management system for a small office creeps so much it often takes years to develop something that should take a month or so.
Still, something like Matrix is probably an inevitability.
