Well, Jay dont you think by adopting such an apporach we are basically degrading the company standards, rather than this approach of cost cutting, I would prefer going to cheaper IT investements(which count for 15-20% of a companies expenditure)like adopting the cloud computing technologies eg: SaaS, PaaS.
