I'd probably do a web app myself

Running on? Wait, you mean I have to get IT to set up a server for me? Who's responsible for maintaining that? Backups? They're going to do that for something used by only 10 people that saves us maybe 20-30 hours a week? How much are they going to charge my department for this?



A company like Atlassian famously often had their first install at customers performed by employees on a rogue box under-the-table. Seems like it’s how one introduced software in the 2000s.

I wonder whether today’s equivalent could be made on Raspberry Pi. It requires a few tricks, but there is so much demand from managers who could afford paying 50€ out of pocket.

Of course, having a rogue box plugged to the internal network with a Wifi and Bluetooth chip on board is not IT-approved. Can it be bypassed?
