I know this is an old thread but I know for a fact that SF flew in a consultant from Ohio weekly with expenses paid for Splunk. This was in 2012. I was in the room that they were at the time in Corp South part of Technical Engineering(TE) and the company was paying 300k a week for the Splunk license initially because of all the data being sent. It was mind boggling. But like everyone said above it was a blank check. Does anyone remember all those magnetic wipeoff boards??? I still laugh they were everywhere.

Too much and very little.
Budget? Nobody knows this... Value returned on $$$ spent??? Nobody knows this...
