Doing more with the same budget is a big thing within any department. It's a way to show 'efficiency' thus garner points for promotion. Overall company budget for a technology group is besides the point---individual departments are budget constrained and being able to say I saved 30% last quarter, and whilst handing 200% more operations is something any manager would love.
