Very interesting break down of what it costs to being out a range of figures.

You wouldn't believe it. 

This reminds me of the time before I worked for the Evil Empire......White Dwarf, came out every month....."By magic".
It was only once I'd started working there, that I realised how much work...and how many people were involved in producing the magazine.

It's not just the 'toy soldier' industry where folk don't realise what's involved in keeping things 'ticking over'...It's just about everything.

Two hour meeting was scheduled for me to brief a project manager on requirements.

Many, many meetings and several increases in projected timescales and costs later we went with a commercial package.

Apparently library systems weren't quite as like selling tins of beans as IT had assumed
