It was as simplistic I could get without writing a friggin' whitepaper, Al (lol). Economies of scale come into play depending on client size, scope of application, ratio of business needs to those met by the application, external systems requirements, etc etc etc....

in toto. In a lot of cases it's *very* easy to justify box replacement.
