How to deal with funding constraints (in IT- where hardware replacement and the implementation of network security solutions is likely to cost about R20 mil, the implementation of the findings of Job Evaluation is estimated to cost R150 mil.) and at the same time meet the expectations of customers. Budgets have already been submitted and given the wide-ranging and diverse priorities of the organization, some budget expectations may not be met and yet delivery objectives have already been set.
