Ah, yes, the blog title. It elegantly (or perhaps desperately) attempts to lasso the zeitgeist of cloud and AI, while simultaneously wrestling with the perennial anxieties of IT partnerships. One might be forgiven for thinking it promises a definitive guide through this technological Wild West. In actuality, it’s likely a collection of observations, perhaps a few well-placed buzzwords, and hopefully some actionable advice that hasn’t already become obsolete. Prepare for a journey into the nuanced landscape of outsourced IT, where value is a slippery concept, risk is ever-present, security is a constant tightrope walk, and cost… well, cost is always a conversation, isn’t it? Proceed with cautious optimism.
