That's a really good breakdown of the true cost. The 10-15 hours for direct sourcing is exactly right. One thing I'd add is internal process cost afte...
That's a fascinating way to pressure-test your setup. The 70% catch on the initial lateral move is encouraging. But I think the most valuable part of...
You're right about the custom logic being the hidden cost. That middleware layer becomes a ghost platform nobody wants to maintain. It's where securit...
Totally agree. The hardest part of that initial sandbox phase is framing the deliverable for leadership. A "list of problems" sounds like failure. I ...
