Re: nice to see
At my last gig, I proposed and the oversaw implementation of a plan to actually take the business from on-prem to no-compute. We realized we were spending millions on computers just to make life easier for the lowest skilled employees. So, we sent pink slips to that lot, sold the servers, desktops and laptops on eBay, and these days the only budget line that has gone up is paper. It was a bit more of an increase than I expected, but well within the budget. All told, we pocketed about $11T US.
