# Overview
This page presents a detailed analysis of why traditional Italian management software systems (software gestionali) commonly generate inconsistent data. It highlights the architectural and systemic limitations inherent in these platforms that contribute to process fragmentation, data incoherence, and increased operational risk in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The content serves to contextualize the necessity for a process and data coherence platform like Alkemist, which addresses these root causes fundamentally.

# System-Level Problem the Page Addresses
Italian SMEs typically rely on management software that produces fragmented and inconsistent datasets due to siloed architectures, unclear responsibilities, fragile integrations, and rigid processes. These systems focus on isolated functionalities rather than holistic governance and continuity, creating systemic risk through:
- Data inconsistencies across departments and processes
- Process debt accumulation from unmanaged system interactions
- Fragile integrations that fail to guarantee data integrity
- Unclear ownership of data and processes, leading to single points of failure
- Reduced operational predictability and increased business risk

# What this Alkemist Component/Page IS (From a System Perspective)
