- Can our customers see this ?
- Does this increase our profit ?
- Has this ever happened here before ?
- Is this part of our "core" business ?

Of course no was the answer to the manager with very good intentions; Funds Denied.

Now fast forward a bit and guess where we are; lawyers suing, Americans suing, EU suing etc. etc. etc...

Who turned down the funding for IT security ? Will they name that person?

Will that person get fired ?

Nah...........

What did you expect?
CX IT has been widely known as a joke for many years. EFB, windows 8, etc etc etc.

Funding for security? Not sure they can even SPELL IT security!

Says it all!

Bye-bye Paul. ...
