"After you have been in the computing profession for a few years (I have been in it for decades), you find that the most expensive things a corporation can do are:

1/* Change hardware software systems used to run the enterprise ... generally if the old software will run on the new hardware, the costs are that of the new hardware, getting the software moved over, and renewing software licenses that are associated with the platform they run on ... the most expensive part of this is usually the software licenses ... that can cost more than all ofher expenses combined

2/* Move corporate offices to a new location (this is not as expensive as a conversion of hardware software)
