Despite having infrastructure and development teams at my org, they always want to bring in and pay $$$ to vendors to setup garbage that we could have either deployed ourselves or freaking built ourselves.
Half my job is cleaning up after crap vendors and propping up their low-bid quality “solutions”.
Needless to say, they had me in the first half of that headline.
Well, it’s not without at least one precedent. Enterprises pulling back out of the cloud to on-prem or hybrid due to soaring costs was refreshing. Higher ups in my org were always champing at the bit thinking it would (as the sales people said) cut our costs in half. Having long-term data to show that’s a lie was useful.
