In other words....

Outsource your IT functions and Data Storage. Move it to a solution hosted elsewhere and let them handle it....and it will save money.

My questions are many:

1) When that company invades your data or releases your customer info to other entities...how will you know they did it or recover from it?

2) When that company is sued out of existance for the above... How do you get your data back?

3) When the system isn't working or you can't access the internet... who fixes it and how fast?

4) If you and your 3 main competitors are hosted with the same company, who gets priority to get the systems up first? You or your better financed competitor?

Lots of potholes in outsourcing... even if you keep it onshore... you lose control of your business. Period. End of list.

That means it can't possibly cost you less.
