@mcdavis10 Agree, though the challenge is that you had to have predicted everything correctly upfront, which rarely happens in IT. How do you achieve agile iteration across the contract boundary, is one fairly serious unsolved issue in partner management. #CIOChat

A3: Ensure everything is clearly defined and specified in the contract, more thoroughness up front can save you a lot of headaches, and a lot of $$$$. #CIOChat
Dion Hinchcliffe@dhinchcliffe

#CIOChat Q3: The ghosts of upgrades past still haunt many IT teams: Cost overruns, partner failures, tech debt resurfacing. What big lesson have you learned about risk management, vendor accountability, and communication that could save peers from repeating those mistakes?

A2.2) Of course, designing your infrastructure from scratch to meet or somewhat exceed business #SLA targets may be the big win. Exceeding by too much may create questions from your friendly, neighborhood CFO. #ciochat

A2) For my particular niche, there's a ton of vendor support built in for rolling upgrades, hot patching, live migrations, etc. Nobody really noticed one hardware refresh since no service went down. (shilling badly) @IBM #Power11 and related tech have upped their game. #ciochat

The toughest upgrades are the ones requiring behavioral and workflow changes, especially those involving executives. #CIOChat #ChangeManagement #CIO

@dhinchcliffe #CIOChat A1: Signals (Time-to-Data)-delivery latency complaints; repeatedly running out of GPU, long delivery times for simple computations, network "busy". Biz case: It takes how long to get your favorite report?"

A1.2) "Saving money" wasn't on my last list of business wins for a major compute refresh, but it happened anyway because we had excellent data for right-sizing at every level. #ciochat

A1.1) Lately, I've been lucky not to get a lot of push-back, but the way some manufacturers "incentivize" upgrades with huge hikes in maintenance costs after thr initial comtract expires helps a lot. Building a laundry list of biz wins for the new gear is good too. #ciochat

It used to be easier. I used to say, when the drives die, so does the business application. Now there are more risks and greater cloud/infrastructure redundancy. Today, a mandate for consolidation helps, especially when CIOs demonstrate improved EX/CX and lower costs. #CIOChat

A1: All too often for the users the upgrades are left until its past too late! A bit like Cybersecurity, sometimes it take an S.E.E. before budget gets approved. Signals such as increasing numbers of failures, slow downs in processing or more downtime etc #CIOChat
Dion Hinchcliffe@dhinchcliffe

#CIOChat Q1: Every CIO has faced a “forklift upgrade” moment when the infrastructure simply can’t evolve anymore. What signals tell you it’s truly time for a major upgrade? And how do you make the business case before performance pain becomes obvious to all?
