Constant Change

There are consistent software/application revisions/updates plus new once that needs to be

Application/software version specific files are sometimes in conflict with the required

updates/upgrades in which both can not coexist on the same system.

Constant Maintenance

Application/software failure/corruption requires certain man-hours to troubleshoot and/or

reinstall.

Application/software license counts and management are sometimes a challenged with

diversity in kinds, versions, and user distribution.
