		<description><![CDATA[Vaughan,

I like the metaphor.  An example archetype which extends your thought, with a twist, is that of an orphanage.  I have seen many times the situation where the CIO role is absent, underpowered, or underfunded and the business community take to developing their own &quot;IT shop&quot; to support applications that they either build with Access or other EUC tool, or packages which are purchased on a credit card while at a trade show.
Each of these departmental &quot;IT shops&quot; will typically be a different level of maturity which corresponds to your archetypes (and typically at the more immature end of the scale).]]></description>
