   Well, most decision support systems are bought because someone feels   
   he doesn't have enough control over what is going on in the   
   business. An interesting question to ask that someone is why the   
   current systems don't provide the needed information, and how the   
   decision to build/buy them was taken. I haven't seen much rationality   
   there.
