There was one time. Because there was no integration between our internal spreadsheet and forecasting systems where we try to project commissions, variable costs and payments, and other data, we came scarily close to missing a forecast. I told IT and my own finance team that we couldn't take that kind of risk and we needed an on-demand service that would handle this task. They argued it wasn't cost-justified. I called it "risk mitigation."
