What does one have to do to get to such crazy numbers for a task so simple?

What does one have to do to get to such crazy numbers for a task so simple?
- hyperman1 6y agoLet's see: A risk and impact analysis, a requirement check, a capacity audit, a full blown security audit, a data retention policy, a storage size study, a ton of policies to fill in so you get a dns name, a financial audit, setup of a new bookkeeping post so all these activities have somewhere to book their time, a project for that post, a language and style audit, a translation study to decide nothing needs a translation, ... I easily see more than 100 people working on this.

Add DR environment and live replication of VMs and databases, database backup retention planning, off-site storage costs. Ultra high performance SAN storage for all of that. Add pre-prod and test environments as well and it soon adds up.... apparently. Turns out the internal infrastructure recharging model didn't scale down and as it was a "process" it couldn't be changed.
