I hear stories like this all the time - I'm all for "cloud" in certain areas, but, there are an increasing amount of companies that either don't care or have short sighted policies.

I really think the future needs to look more at "master" accounts with Azure/AWS and similar services, make it much easier to delegate access to third parties so that the third party contains the core logic/application but the data resides fully with your own account.

Data ownership is so important and overlooked by so many people who want an easy life and want to forget physical servers to look after.
