In our line of work, you can't tell all your big corporate clients to 'move into the 21st century' (well you can but it won't do anything except annoy and anger them)- it's not about just your own data- you have to be able to work with the files types and material your clients are sending you. If you cannot, then they'll find someone else who can. The big corporations will update and change their systems when they decide to. Meanwhile, we have to be able to work with widely varied material coming at us from many different clients.
