Just the article ive been waiting for.
A big Co i do engineering for, cant mention the name refused to accept an email from me just 10 days ago, the refusal came from a Mcsft cloud server.
so i called in by phone to ask , have you put your email server into MS cloud?
Yes was to reply.
I delivered some work today, and the staff member said they had no emails in all yesterday.
Again MS cloud has let them down.
I commented that I hope they have suitable penalty clauses in their contract. for failure to deliver what was supposed to be a cheaper and safer service than their previous email server.
Apart from the confidentiality risks. MS could sell contents of purchase orders to my Co's competitors apart from other confidential business transactions.
Their IT isnt my problem but my other work is. I will be taking it up with them in due course
about going down the encryption route.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
