Leadership galaxy Case 1 of 7

Running a €500k infrastructure budget

The problem

Servers, workstations and telephony are expensive, and every line has its own vendor, its own pace and its own emergencies.

The constraint

What I did

I put servers, workstations and telephony into one budget, to see where every euro goes.

I weigh what an expense brings against what it costs, and I decide what stays, what changes and what stops.

I follow spending all year, to correct early rather than discover a gap at year end.

The result

About €500k a year managed, across three spending lines, in a single budget.

€500k

of infrastructure managed every year
