Dude, I'm just glad I'm not on that IT steering committee. Sounds like they've got some serious work ahead of them. But hey, at least they've got a chance to learn from this experience, right?

Haha, I bet the IT steering committee is regretting that lease-to-purchase decision right about now. A TCO policy is definitely the way to go to avoid these kinds of surprises in the future.

Budget cuts? Really? That's just a bandaid solution. We need to establish a policy to review financial decisions and ensure we're considering the long-term costs.

The end-of-life program is a good idea, but it doesn't address the root cause of the cost overruns. We need to look at the total cost of ownership for new investments.
