I ran into this working with a Fortune 500 company. I came into the job with an amateur experience with PHP and SQL, saw them trading around large amounts of daily info in Excel via email and the cloud and asked, why isn't this in a proper database? I was told it was how it's always been done and we couldn't change it. So I did it that way, muttering how stupid it was. A clear example of what DIDN'T have to be an email.

Yup. I work in software that is used for blueprinting/designing, and also as a sales tool. So often the specs we get when asked to implement a new tool or product are, “Here’s the Excel sheet we use. Please make sure the software outputs to this Excel template.”
