I have to agree, with digital technology, &quot;you get what you pay for&quot; breaks down completely. Sometimes the very best choice for one component is cost free, or very low cost, because reproducing that component 100% perfectly is pretty much free.<p>The big problem is identifying what is a good choice. If you don&#x27;t know, you can&#x27;t easily contract out the choice either, how do you know the contractor can or will make a good choice for you?<p>So the best outcome for non-technical organizations is to get lucky and know someone personally who knows what they&#x27;re doing and has no ulterior motive - someone just like you. They don&#x27;t really know if they know such a person. But if they get lucky and pick just the right helpful competent person to make IT decisions for them, modern technology can give them quite a lot for very little.<p>It&#x27;s a perplexing situation.
