I will assume that at the current state you are able to pay both the datacenter costs and people costs since it seems that is what you are currently doing.
With that assumption in mind, if you do migrate and realize that you now don’t need 80% of the people you needed before, it could mean one of two things:
- you are now able to pocket whatever savings you were able get from the migration and either save it or invest in something to potentially keep that money in the economy, just in a different way
- you now have 80% of your people free to do whatever other things you didn’t do because they had to maintain datacenters. That is huge in terms of efficiency gains and allows you to redirect that money to increase the value provided by your company either by repurposing the current workforce or getting rid of them and bringing people you could previously not bring on board due to existing costs
Either way I believe that everybody is better off After the changes.
Efficiency gains such as the one you are describing is what makes it possible for economies to grow and keep moving forward.
Can you imagine if you had to handle cows, pigs and farms to have a BLT? It’s very good that such things are outsourced because that allows for improvement that would otherwise not be possible.
