I think you mean "Person who's job it is to convince others it's really hard and they should just buy your product"...?

ha sure. I just meant I know the sort of operational burden cloud customers are able to outsource by not rolling their own, based on my time at the G inside resource planning and management.

You know anything of the burden to be reliant on someone else for your core operations? And having to invest and adapt so much just to lock yourself to one vendor? For many that alone is more than the operational burden of doing it yourself.
