Hello Brian,

In addition to what Victor has given, I would like to suggest that you can
'organise' your budget along two lines:

1. Recurrent expenditure or OPEX
Telecomms, Licenses, Support Contracts, Maintenance, HR salaries /
allowances,  Travel, Training, Cleaning, etc,

2. Project or Development Costs - CAPEX
Hardware (new or replacement), Software, any planned projects, furniture

After getting the above, you can quickly run through your invoices, support
contracts and purchase orders for the past 12 months to ensure you have
covered most of the recurrent stuff. Your finance guys and gals will also be
helpful in pointing out any costs that have been incurred or allocated to
your department.

>From there on, you can  run the draft past everybody who matters in your
food chain - not only upwards - your customers (internal departments) may
also be planning some initiatives that require ICT input.

Finally, there are some interesting styles of spending that I've come
across:
- Spend to Save - projects that introduce efficiency but need some upfront
exoenditure
- Save to spend - cutting back in some areas to be able to afford a project
that adds value

I hope the above helps.

Kind regards,
Bernard
