Just going on and on about compliance when you have no idea about the details. It’s a classic example of how IT fails most large orgs.

Compliance isn't required due to a vendor.

Compliance is due to the legal obligations thanks to local regulations and obligations that are defined through contracts with 3rd parties.

Saying 'found the Microsoft person' expresses a lack of understanding of the domain.

  • You kind of just proved my point. Sorry I should not have been joking but i don’t think you have a grasp what’s going on around you.

    This is how IT acts in my enterprise orgs. There is absolutely a need for compliance and governance but unfortunately the people in these roles are typically not technically minded and have low incentives to innovate so you get these folks only really arguing for their jobs.

    • Cool story bro.

      Do you think the MSFT sales person, or anyone who has the financial incentive to innovate, doesn't want you to innovate? They want you on Azure and O365 regardless, they don't care.

      Hell, Microsoft will give you will give you 150k [0] of credits to do so.

      But keep talking as if you have some magical, unique, special insight that escapes contracts and the law, compared to the people who, sadly, have to deal with reality.
