No one listens to the technical people that espouse the alternatives, partially due to the mainly-impenetrable language difference: business vs technical.

Management would rather depend on "Microsoft" than "that employee that talks a lot without saying anything useful / understandable". That's a huge bridge to cross. Even under the mad king, I think most Management would prefer to remain dependent on Microsoft and go out of their way to avoid the ire of the The Kingdom of Trumpistan than to migrate their "everything computer" to a lesser known, lesser proven entity.



it's not a technical question simply.

this is a business/operations risk management question. compliance, legal liability, BCP, regulatory environment flux, and so on.

the case of the ICC obviously shows how little they cared about these things.

MS closed the account? where are the offsite/independent backups? etc.
