Conversely, IT is arguing about a $90 license on an employee that costs 80k. If it saves them 2 hours of productivity over the course of the year, it's an even trade, wouldn't you say?
$90? Where can I get Adobe Acrobat for $90? Standard is 14.99 per month! I'd buy that shit all day if it was a one time fee of $90.
Yeah but those $90 savings make IT management look good, and that 80k/year doesn't come out of IT's budget. Also the productivity loss can't objectively be measured or will just be blamed on the employee.
I worked for a small multinational (20.000ish employees).
The licensing department saved about 3 mio USD/year when they started going at license pinching.
No shit man. I just pay for my own. Ain't worth arguing with IT. Saved me a shit ton of time reliably converting and editing PDFs.
I blame accounting. Although I also think that Acrobat's price is BS.
Yeah, this penny pinching on licenses is pretty absurd. I promise you that it hardly affects the bottom line.
