There is a specific reason for the system performing like that... a development process that lets somebody in a far off office choose software components for financial/political/office politics reasons, wires together separate programs doing each task that are developed separately with barely any integration testing until it's too damn late to fix anything, and a whole host of other "our team is going to do this part using X" bullshit that winds up with the overall system looking like somebody tried to use Legos in one part, Lincoln logs in another, pottery cast clay elsewhere, and has three different interconnection schemes because each level of bureaucracy involved mandated a different buzzword when it got to review things two to five years after the last level saw it.
At least, that's what it looked like when I saw it in '98. It doesn't sound like it's gotten any better.

It's 10x worse now. Now there are half-a-dozen different browser-based apps that all do the same thing, and that's BEFORE you mention the AI data fusion initiatives people want to integrate.
