> I guarantee you they are not. I'm speaking from firsthand knowledge. How embarrassing for you to think that because you know some Private Equity folks (generally the worst people at managing technology), that 100% of the rest of the world is doing (or not doing) exactly what they're doing. You wrote paragraphs about how expensive it is to hire people to do stuff in a datacenter. What is your argument, if it is not that this is more costly than outsourcing it? This entire debate should be recast the simple "build vs buy" concept that it already is. |

So am I. My reference to PE firms was that my anecdote of the few boards I'm on is supplemented by their experience.

Because that's entirely the premise of my argument. Did you read the parent comment and what I was responding to?
PS - Say what you want about PE folk, but they are the most ruthless capitalists. So IMHO they are far more incentivized to drive cost efficiencies than anyone else because profit = EBITDA = valuations.
