Ihab,
I understand that the IT department is not the only one involved in the
decisions. You usually have a Financial person and an Operations person
involved. It is typically the job of the IT Director ( or whatever the
title is.... ) to present all the facts for the Financial and Operations
people in such a way that they understand the needs and the solutions and to
recommend a solution.
If the company is 'super cheap' then you have a decision to make. If other
people are involved ( the Delegated Commercial Administrator ) that possibly
should not be ( why is this person a 'Delegated Commercial Administrator'
and what does that really mean? ) then your decision should be very clear.
I would have a very difficult time working someplace where the secretary is
able to dictate policy ( The "oh, that color is pretty! Let's do that!" or
the "I do not want to have to wait for anything. It should just always
work!" syndrome ). I have seen this before and it is usually very
indicative of much larger problems.
Sounds like you are in a tough situation.
Hope that you're able to find an acceptable solution.
Cary
