Poorly integrated and optimized cloud technology can surely be a death by a thousand cuts for a business of any size. Sometimes you need a specialist with that extra knowledge to steer you in the correct direction.
Indeed time wasted on frustrating SaaS integrations and web solutions could have been money better spent on a cloud ninja to get you up to speed and where you need to be.
