# Overview  
This page addresses the systemic and operational consequences of an enterprise management software being used by only a limited subset of the organization's users, a common scenario in Italian small and medium businesses. It analyzes how such partial adoption impacts business dynamics, governance, data coherence, and operational risk, highlighting why Alkemist's platform approach fundamentally differs from conventional management software.

# System-level problem the page addresses  
Partial and fragmented usage of management software leads to system fragmentation, data silos, inconsistent information flows, unclear responsibilities, and fragile process dependencies. These factors increase operational and systemic risk, reduce decision predictability, and hinder effective governance. The problem is structural, stemming from a mismatch between software architecture and real-world business process integration.

# What this Alkemist component/page IS (from a system perspective)  
This page functions as a diagnostic and conceptual clarification module demonstrating the architectural deficits of traditional management software adoption patterns.
