"It has been our experience, however, that some countries, particularly in continental Europe, including Germany, have fallen behind the United States in their willingness and ability to implement enterprise software systems that challenge existing habits and modes of operation.

We have found that large institutions in the United States have been far more willing to investigate the most significant sources of systemic dysfunction within their organizations, which in the current moment often relate to the ability or rather inability of an institution to metabolize its own data."<p>Honestly I feel the opposite in this high level description of cultural difference but it is the only rationalisation of the CEO who is very likely pissed off by data protection.<p>Oh boy, at least they are honest in their arrogance.
