Basic Purpose. The fundamental reasons for the existence of the SDAEs are responsiveness and availability. They are organized for a purpose, and that is to be available and responsive to the needs of the departments of the institution. They were called into being for that very reason, and that is sufficient. As long as they serve that purpose well and at a fair price, they should not have to struggle for the very existence that was originally demanded by the organization.
