We are working on a Network Infrastructure Upgrade project. In the course of getting the approvals for the expense the VP of Finance has demanded the Savings we can expect as a result of this upgrade. We are Changing over to manageable Cisco Routers, a Fiber backbone through our Plant area, two new Windows based servers and cat 5 wiring overhaul. We are out of ports on our hubs, running several server/client OS’s and have direct cable runs from our main wiring closet to the network cards on most of our PC’s We still have Thicknet. I can give him a million reasons to do this project but until I can show an actual dollar savings as a result of it he’s not budgeing! Has anyone else had to deal with this?
Thanks
