But that’s been the default in most large organisations (well, the ones I’ve worked in) - standard IT equipment/builds are simpler and easier to maintain (so it would be more inefficient if a large amount of non-standard builds were available by default).
We got round that issue by having a number of standard builds (general office work, IT developers, marketing, etc.) - I know this is how it currently works in NHS Digital, as I have a couple of ex-colleagues who work there.
