Why does building and rolling out a standardized environment cost so much? Could you break down the requisite steps and resources required to achieve this?
Thank you, I appreciate it :)

Recurring annual costs (over 10 years) 3.) Contractor at $150 an hour = $300K annually 4.) Contractor PM at $50 an hour = $100K annually 5.) Information security compliance hoops, getting it to play nicely with the myriad of endpoint security tools, etc 6.) Ongoing maintenance and support (failed rollouts and upgrades, user desktop support, user training)
You just don't jump from "humans in Excel" to "CI/CD perfected pipeline" overnight, nor do you need it.
Excel shops still have costly expenses rewriting entire workflows/re-doing Excel files constantly as people come and go, it's not like there isn't already maintenance cost with the current method.
