"Unfortunately its often the finance and admin departments that buy the software, not the users or even the IT departments (the IR department were some of the more vocal opposers)."
As a former employee of a huge online university (starts with a K), I can attest that this is 100% true. We had our own CMS that was suddenly "replaced" with an outsourced 3rd party service. We had to jump through all kinds of hoops to integrate it with our existing stuff, and it was (is) really crappy and unreliable to boot.
Your comments about usability, reliability, stability and integrity are spot-on for most educational software. I guess as they say, those that can, do. Those that can't... write CMS software.
