I worked at a place called MEMEC, before they had tax problems and were forced into being bought by AVNET.
Management decided to use Cisco Network Registrar, and that hosed up the entire internal DNS setup, so I installed a stealth DNS subsystem that was literally 100x more efficient, and reliable. All the savvy IT people were on board with it, and when customers complained about slow resolution when using Cisco Network Registrar, I would throw up my hands and say "well, I keep telling them about it, but someone bought it -- you may as well keep using it."
