The reasons being the move to hosted, SaaS models, Cash Flow, and the cost of managing in-house (staffing, keeping up to date, security, etc, etc). this is a whole, wonderful new world for them where licences can be managed... This will mean per user monthly rentals, rather than hefty licence costs/management. Fighting Alligators: Clearly listing the business issues you set out to manage at the start of the project, and keeping a focus on them is the only way to ensure you end up with what you wanted in the first instance, when you were not panicing because of the alligators. I like my stats: Generally only 20% of a project actually get delivered - as projects rollout, budgets allocated are drawn back for other projects. Think of the lost opportunity
