Cisco Network and Server hardware - orders and money up front with delivery - a year plus out for the equipment.
Then the planning necessary - to cut-over and or implement begins.
If one is in a High Tech position - with hardware running a business that is near end of life and support by CISCO NETWORKS (and any of the others - I mention Cisco because this is what I run with - PHONES / SERVERS / ROUTERS/SWITCHES) - storage = NIMBLE SSD SAN (another one impacted).
Million dollar server - pay now and wait a year plus - for delivery.
Prior - 2 months max from sending them a big check and the gear is delivered onsite.
CFO and CEO can agree on purchase - make the purchase and get the gear - all in the same year.
Now - fiscal forecasting technology stuff - is out of an annual YEARLY BUDGETARY window - it's now into a multi year funding window so fiscal forecasting - for all businesses burdened with managing technology have now HIT A WALL - with tracking financing and operations beyond a single year - FOR BIG TICKET ITEMS with work that impacts the company and the bottom line.
Budgeting for losses - if some of these losses in efficiencies and or risk or operational growth etc - are now becoming a major issue.
The turn quickly on a dime - leveraging technology has now become - the advanced system stuff is hammered with turn around
We pay for a technology today - with about a 5 - 7 year technology window before you have to replace it with upgrades and new gear
Now you pay and give up one year of your 5-7 hardware equipment life - as you wait, for your expensive order to get delivered. - and the time clock is counting - and you haven't even installed it and powered it up.
This is EXPENSIVE AND IMPACTS ALL BUSINESSES RIGHT NOWLast edited by AtTheWall; 02-12-2022, 09:25 AM.
