    Funny thing I noticed when I got into higher level IT and started purchasing.

    Two different companies, both very different in business practices. BOTH hated the idea of subscriptions.

    “Yo, boss, check this requisition for $30/mo.”

    No.

    “Yo, boss, check this requisition for a onetime $3,000.”

    Signed having barely looked at it.

    Having said that, our AWS spend is stunning. $6M/yr. for ALL our software needs. But still, they’re hesitant to add more and my mission now is to dial it in.
