I like to put the costs (tangible or not) in terms that they can understand.
My Toad license costs 25% less than the service for the horrible PoS of a
Blackberry I was issued. So I gave 'em back my phone, went BYOD and saved
'em the costs. Not that I was in any danger of losing Toad, but...
Of course this situation is likely to be unique to me as I'm a DBA, I'm the
only DBA, I'm on-call 24x7x365, I was granted Special Dispensation for the
BYOD phone, and 95% of my cell minutes were talking to my (lovely) Wife
anyway. My point is that your Toad [groan, here it comes] ROI [hate that]
is going to vary between companies. Damagement wants proof, so prove it.
Make the case (I like using lots of pretty graphs and buzzwords) and present
it.
I know it sucks. It's like having to prove you're innocent instead of Them
having to prove your guilt, and that burns me.
I wonder if they've fixed the issue in S-Dev where saving grid results
caused a rerun of the query...
GL!
