It’s really not that hard. I’m the IT department for a medium sized bakery operation. Around 200 employees. This just means that I’m available when it really is necessary. I’m in situ or on call when orders come in and when shipments go out.
In the end I’m cheaper than outsourcing all the in house software and hardware. And I’m available at 3am when the bakers do their thing.
And yeah, I do have somebody somewhat trained in every bakery. When they’re at end of their wit I’m the person they call.
In the end, I’m around 1% of the payroll. IT is not that special.
Brother. I work in a company with 10k workers. The company loses thousands of dollars per second of downtime, if it’s something that affects the availability of the main page or the checkout process.
If that happens during the peak season, it could be hundreds of thousands per second.
With those kinds of stakes, you don’t just jerry rig your hosting, and very frequently, you don’t take your chances with in-housing.
You put it in one of the big 3, because they don’t fail, and if they do fail you, you sue their ass.
