It's called reactionary budgeting and in a credit market like the one we're in, it's not surprising. I overcame the mindset by putting together a spreadsheet with columns for "Problem", "Reason it's a problem", "Short-term fix", "Cost of Short Term", "Long Term Solution", "Disaster Situation" and "Cost to Recover from Disaster." The reason for the "short term" and "long term" is because we are in negotiations with our leasing company to remodel our building. I have already dictated the need for the long-term solutions as a part of the remodel.
Granted, the first two that I had on my list were sever hardware issues - improper cooling in the "server room" and a lack of fire extinguishers. I haven't actually hit on the hardware, security, network and software issues yet. My efforts were well received and I was actually authorized to buy a portable air conditioner (really nifty model that recycles the water to cool the unit and has two vent hoses) and two additional fire extinguishers. Sometimes you have to approach the issue from another angle! Until Later! C.
