Been dealing with that lately, but not necessarily losing. Management issue with the left hand not talking to the right hand and apps "suddenly" appearing and someone emailing you asking what's wrong with the database (performance is bad) and no one has ever even heard of the application. "Oh yeah, we developed a web app and rolled it out this weekend. We decided to do some authentication and validation against so and so database.". Well, thanks for telling us. But the thing is, someone in IT management knew, and someone in the DBA group had to know for the priv's to be there. Big time communication problems within the IT group, and with external groups.

But things *are* changing ;-) And they are starting to see the value of getting us involved early on in the process.
