if money doesnt go to both staff and hardware, money isnt a good thing to throw at it. Underpaid, overworked, under-qualified staff end up standing confused poking themselves in the eye looking at the cobblefuckery on the network. you can hand the best gear in the world to a guy, if hes just poking himself in the eye its not going to do any good. If you have a good team, you can do more with less, like ubnt, but if you have a good team AND good gear you can do great things and nobody gets poked in the eye
