I agree. Moreover, what happens when a member of that current team leaves? Is there someone in her/his place that can take over those tasks until the position is filled? Does the job description of the new employee now include all of those skills that have left behind that may, in fact, end up costing the company more?
Also remember that many of you understand the technology but management just needs to understand the implications - all of them. What happens if a project dies and support disappears for an application that has been adopted?
It is always a business strategy question: do the IT tools fit our business strategy? If they aren't inline, then they have no place.
