Legacy framework spending during bubbling economy that was initially designed for greenfield larger complex enterprise have overload traditional SME's cost sensitive battlefield cramped under evolving infrastructure expectations. While positive technology adoptions have been vastly reviewed in the past, there is great importance on how change management will be applied in an environment of restricted volatile resources.
