+1 from me. I was just discussing this with some other folks at my
company and had to make the point that if all you do is show the CEO a
big fat $ figure, he's gonna say no. If you actually want to make it
happen, you have to show a progression to get there from where we are
today, with the incremental costs required along the way and the
functionality that you get for that.
