Network Dictionary – Reassuringly Expensive

Reassuringly expensive

1. Terminology used by sales representative to refer to high level of quality and overall excellence in this product, as in ìit wasn’t built on the cheapî. Sometimes even meant honestly.

2. Term that refers to the eye watering cost of the product or solution, often for the benefit of the manufacturer or reseller.

3. For very large companies, a mandatory requirement for any IT project, as anything cheap is inherently and obviously valueless.
