      Those who are dependent upon their command-and-control decisions find themselves in progressively weaker positions, pitted against each other globally, and forced to accept shrinking compensation for their efforts (assuming that compensation is offered in the first place). Of the two groups, the cybergeoisie reside in the 'big house' of the global latifundia, providing indispensable, presently unautomatable command-and-control functions.

      The difficulty of integration is almost always related to several manual steps and synchronization of different versions of code bases, libraries, and other resources to deliver a working product. There is nothing inherently unautomatable about these steps.

      Some of the processes involved in a business environment are not included in the automation because some sort of human decision is needed. With the growing complexity of information systems - especially studies into decision support systems and artificial intelligence - some human decision-making processes can actually be automated. This is the future goal of BPM, to further automate previously unautomatable processes.
