MICROSOFT wants to impose its products
Microsoft imposes on its employees the exclusive use of its own products, and recommends users not to use products of its competitors (Dropbox, Slack, Google, Amazon, WhatsApp, Karpersky, etc ...), on the pretext they would not meet the security criteria ... including GitHub a reference entity for the developers of the world it has just acquired for a few billion dollars!
This proves two things
- the Cloud has become the essential model
- the Cloud broke the business model including the biggest world players.
Digitalization imposes Information Cloud
In fact, with the digitalisation of the world, Information Cloud solutions have become the unifying element of the absolute convergence that breaks the boundaries between IT, multimedia and telecommunications by opening up, eliminating territorial models with its markets, as between the private and the professional world.
As an example, today you buy the Microsoft Cloud directly controlled by Microsoft, especially for Office 360, messaging, and indirectly through the servers of hosting partners, Microsoft licensed service providers, In reality, using these solutions, without your knowledge thank you, you have become even more dependent and therefore captive of Microsoft.
You must be aware of the issues because the Cloud has become an essential technology, fabulously interesting, but you must know how to exploit it and keep control of your data and keep your freedom.
We recommend that you set up your own Cloud.
