Whoa, One Truth that known to become an eyecatcher cover ?
Hidden money wasting in IT is very popular practice, and mostly it can be measured in times, not percents. So in general it is fair and sane idea to optimize those blown up costs. But I wouldn't artificially worsen uptime. I'd just keep inner infrastructure for office use inhouse, optimize it for speed and security, totally avoiding malware incidents, make PCs and server infrastructure "sealed" (not changing) thus not consuming labor for supporting and reduce admins staff. But services running for external clients better to keep in cloud. We reduce money paid for cloud services by excluding office infrastructure from clouds.
I always insist on money saving that don't cost quality and thus it is invisible. Because I can invisibly reduce IT costs 3 times! Why then to save producing visible limitations? Only such practice we call optimization, not "economizing".
