Conclusion
CFO Ben Courtanes: I think we made some progress today, Harold.
CIO Harold Peeples: I think so too, Ben. We're not going to agree on everything, but we've certainly found some common ground to build on.
CFO: Yes. As cost centres go, IT's not so bad. You should see what marketing wants from me.
CIO: A cost centre, Ben? I thought we were beyond that.
CFO: Well, Harold, no offence, but IT's not exactly producing revenue, is it? In fact, this is as good a time as any to tell you we're planning to cut your budget by 27 percent.
CIO: What?
CFO: Just kidding, Harold. I'll approve a budget line item for risk analysis inside IT, and you can teach me about buffer overflow.
CIO: Buffer overflow is so cool, Ben. You're going to love it.
