   I was referring to the mistake of getting rid of your local systems,   
   and local systems knowledge, in favour of moving everything into the   
   public clouds and outsourcing your local systems knowledge and   
   development to third party vendors.   
      
   This works for some people, but not for others, and there appears to have   
   been quite a drive by senior management in general of inappropriate   
   movement away from local control and knowledge so that it "becomes someone   
   else's problem".   
      
   The problem is that it isn't someone else's problem, it's still their   
   problem, as more than a few people have found out the hard way, promptly   
   followed by spending more money to move things back in house again.
