Re: Six year contract?
This will be the Microsoft Azure sales people doing the hard sell with a load of fictitious "facts" that it will be costing the Council £100k/year for each or 20 people to manage 100TB of storage and 250 servers.
This bull gets touted around at C level all the time and people just lap it up believing every word. It never appears to occur to them that they don't have that many staff or are paying that much (including all the on-costs).
You get what you deserve and the Azure hard sell too often bypasses reality. Once they actually find out the real costs they cannot go back.
