Yes indeed. These kind of things afflict enterprise IT all the time.
I used to run b2c teams which dealt with big banks. One bank's IT department used to bill internally for data center costs using RAM as a proxy for energy usage. A big spark cluster was purchased for the project I worked on and the minimum RAM for the spec of machine that was "standard" was 128MB, so to "save costs" they had the data center guy take out half the memory in every machine before racking it up. :-(
