This article discusses the results of a survey from BT INS which concludes that few companies in the U.S. are feeling a sense of urgency to implement IPv6. Page 4 of the article does give us a big fat clue on what is needed to get people to move forward: a reasonable business case that they can sell internally.
"But IT professionals say they need more evidence of the bottom-line business benefits associated with IPv6 in order to deploy it.
When asked what would help them convince upper management to deploy IPv6, 24% said case studies showing a positive return on investment for IPv6, 22% said case studies linking IPv6 solutions to business drivers, and 18% said case studies showing how IPv6 helped a company achieve a competitive advantage.
In contrast, only 9% of survey respondents said evidence that IPv4 address depletion was imminent would persuade upper management to upgrade to IPv6."
So, how do we get there?
