Creating a Business Case: Translating Technical Capabilities into Business Advantage
Technical people and business people don’t always speak the same language. IT managers and administrators who understand the business goals and realities of their company are able to evaluate and select technology that will help meet goals while staying within budget. In best case scenarios, the technology they select actually saves the company money. The hard part is often explaining the benefits of chosen technology to business people who have to sign off on the investment.
This white paper outlines and illustrates how to create a business case for new technology. It uses the example of fictitious companies that is currently spending quite a bit of money on a tape-based data backup and restoration solution. While features and benefits are an important part of the case, the focus is on business advantage: cost savings through improved operations and fast return on investment.

Chapter 12: Tales from the Trenches: My Life with Backup 2.0
In the second chapter of this book, I shared with you some of the horror stories of Backup 1.0. I did so primarily as a way of highlighting how poorly our traditional backup techniques really meet our business needs. In this chapter, I want to do the opposite: share with you some stories of Backup 2.0, both from my own experience and from stories you readers have shared over the year‐long production of this book. Names have been changed to protect the innocent, of course, but I think you’ll find these to be compelling examples of how Backup 2.0 has been applied. Where possible, I’ll share information about the infrastructure that goes with these stories so that you can see some of the creative and innovative ways Backup 2.0 is being used in organizations like your own.
