"Poof" or Prosperity?

Sorry, different train of thought for a moment here.

For those of you who may not know, I work for a major Canadian university.

Every large institution loves to benefit surrounding support services in the community and there is no argument here.

But for those who may be struggling with the rationale behind supporting external services (a) vs existing in-house services (b), I offer this simple comparison (above).

Nuff said.
