The list of complaints of the indirect end user was long.

Because the data were so hard to get to and so foreign to the thinking of the indirect end
user, the indirect end user sets out to build THEIR own application. And in doing so, the
indirect end user escalated the issues evolving around siloed systems. Now, there were

even MORE siloed applications.

Fig. 5.1.5 shows that—once built—the application did not solve any of the demands for

data of the indirect users.
