Extended Warranties: Sensible Insurance or Waste of Money?
Paul Champagne saved the Canadian Department of Defence more than a billion dollars over a ten-year period by "ripping up a couple thousand extended warranties", according to Maclean's magazine (6 July 2009). That's a number that's hard to argue with. So we took a closer look at extended warranties: the pros, the cons, who really benefits from them. The conclusion?

This topic is the sixth in our 2009 white paper series: "Making every IT dollar count!" The full white papers are available on our website.
