Okay, so I’m just going to go ahead and say it: It is impossible to accurately estimate a software project of any significance. Now, a non-trivial number of you are going to read that sentence and think I’m nuts. And maybe I am. But someone has to just say what we all know to be true but don’t want to admit.

IT organizations are in a constant battle between ensuring that data is accessible to users, one the one hand, and that the data is globally protected and in compliance with data governance policies, on the other. Added to this is the need to ensure that files are stored in the most cost-effective manner possible, on whichever storage is best at that point in time.
