Microsoft
narkisPlease do not underestimate what I said above about quantifying. In the past, I went before the management and requested a Windows Server upgrade, on the grounds that it has WSUS, which drops our bandwidth costs to 1/400. The phrase "99.75% daily cost saving" alone defeated all oppositions. They asked for a demonstration to verify my claim and I gave them.
But I cannot go before them and ask for an upgrade to Windows 10 on the grounds that it has Delivery Optimization; or if we have already upgraded, get authorization for enabling Delivery Optimization. I don't have any numbers to show them. (And they don't trust Microsoft's numbers.) And I can't demonstrate anything reliably. Worse than that, business and management is all about control. That thought of relinquishing control to some Microsoft-owned Internet-based server puts their shields up. (Read: The thought of relinquishing control to Microsoft!)
