Originally posted by eek View PostI think its as much permanent staff and especially contracting staff wanting AWS on their CV. Equally they recruit people with AWS skills who complain where is x,y,z until management give up and just start to use AWS. Then rapidly everything moves to AWS as its easier.
All the private cloud companies are still where AWS was 12 years ago providing infrastructure as a service with a little to few Software as a service addons. Its highly unlikely anyone except for Microsoft will catch up with Amazon simply because of the $bns that would be required...

CUK used to replace itcontractor with notausefulsite.
The tone of the article is quite one-sided. Next week there will be another article with a different slant.
Much like the DM really.

It is because people at HM Treasury and hmrc are, basically, arsewipes who think individualism is the antithesis of everything they believe.

Ermm okay....
ok, fair point, perhaps not plenty [!] but rather than kicking UK SMEs (which includes many of us on this forum), how about challenging this sort of behaviour?
The following video is a bit dramatic but simply/clearly illustrates the damage being done by corporate exploitation of global tax complexity: Uncover the truth that?s keeping people in poverty | Oxfam GB
If Gov UK started to wake up and use the Social Value Act, Open Data Standards and other tools at its' disposal as well as helping to raise public awareness of the £116Bn avoided by large corporations in UK then perhaps we wouldn't be quite so badly targeted for a poxy £100M that HMRC reckons we (UK SMEs) are hiding.

Agree but..
I agree that nobody can compete with the big US corporations but not because of the investment needed, there are plenty of excellent UK cloud providers that could compete but there seems to be something much darker going on:
