Ah, yes. From a pure cost perspective. Or at least the upfront costs. The
problem is, that's all they are focused on. They are so bent on reducing
applications and saving a few dollars up front, that they fail to see the
broad picture. When you have a group of people who know NOTHING about a
specific field making decisions on what apps can stay and which have to go,
it starts to become a big problem. I've been struggling with that for the
past 6 years with NMCI. The concept that there might actually be a need to
introduce new applications right now is enough to blow their tiny little
minds.

Say what you will, but from a pure cost perspective centralized computing
wins hands down--enough so that some of the functional disadvantages are
outweighed. Recall that for the *vast* majority companies and
organizations, IT is a cost center, not a revenue center.
