All I can say is that true up down the road is a killer, and you eventually will want to true up. To do this is robbing Peter to pay Paul. I would only do this as a last resort. Just my 2 cents.

I think y'all have been there at one point or another. Among one of our biggest yearly ticket items is our Microsoft License Agreement. I am considering dropping it and going to a pay as I go model. Still running the numbers to see if that works, but was wondering if anyone else on the list has done this and what challenges they saw. Any and all feedback is very appreciated. ~Pat Patrick H.
