    Vendor reliance is dangerous.

    1000% this.

    It’s a Faustian bargain, a company gives up all of their internal IT staff and hardware and becomes completely dependent on a vendor for critical business processes. It’s like the opposite of insurance, they’re saving some money by risking a total loss of their ability to do business should the vendor pull support.
