Somehow all that process must work for buying paper clips and pencils. Yeah, they buy those in huge amounts, but I can not conceive that they pay much of a premium. I know that governments have streamlined process for those situations. Don't corportations also have shorter procedures?

But others don't, the one I work for has a generic process for software/development tools, which must be budgeted for one year in advance.
