- When you step into a tech leadership role, you inherit a bunch of contracts, e.g. with Microsoft.
- The contracts are really a set of a dozen or two dozen contracts, often 1 or 2 or 3yrs long, overlapping expirations so there is never any opportunity for a clean cut
- You are faced with either a clean break where you lose millions as you double-pay, or you just accept poor products as a necessary part of the job
- Between Entra and Dataverse and everything else, the whole system is a poorly documented bowl of spaghetti.
