@doerk but it fulfills your short-term incentive: reduce costs. Sure, it's more expensive to run stuff in "the cloud" when comparing apples to apples, but you can create shareholder value by firing all your qualified local IT staff. @stefano
@fedops@stefano Yes, they are telling you that you can reduce costs and need less staff. On first glance, this is true, but it leads straight to total dependence to the cloud provider. Vendor Lock-in included. And after five years you figure out that you didn’t really save any money.
@doerk the concept in a nutshell. Which is why I insist on claiming it is a failure of IT management.
They get their bonuses by clear-cutting their IT workforce. Knowing full well that the consequences are to be borne by whoever comes after them when their 5 year stint expires and they have moved on to greener pastures.
If you want to make sure never to be stuck in a meeting again ask your IT manglement for their exit strategy from the cloud. There isn't one and they will hate you. @stefano
