When making enterprise decisions look beyond the initial cost and consider total cost of ownership (TCO), usability and user experience. While current cost is an important line item it shouldn’t be the main (or only) factor to consider when deciding which systems or services to implement or who to hire and promote. Look at the overall value that particular enterprise solution will provide to your customers, clients, partners, staff and finally you before making a decision.
In short, as my dad told me many years ago…
Often, the cheapest thing today will prove to be the most expensive in the long run.
