Re: Uncontrollable costs?
"You could also argue that less time spent fixing broken on-premises IT means more time to focus on innovation; but it is true that cloud computing is a kind of outsourcing and there are downsides."
Not really. That might be true in the short term, but in the long term the jobs will be deskilled to cut costs, so the postholders won't be able to do any more than they're required to.
Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is a subject for tech/beancounter 'discussion'.
