My question is however simple: Is there an *obvious advantage* to use
outlook.com instead of your own mail-server, while the systems in

Not a real benefit, but one that the decisionmakers in management like.
They know MS products, it is the market standard in business and they
choose it because of that.

It has been a while since I was close to this kind of decision
makers. But, in my time, they would have to communicate before
anything was really done. Where an IT-infrastructure exists – and
sometimes so complete that its use is *proposed* to customers – do
administrators and/or other executing agents need to be lobotomized
before they delegate mail to a service abroad?

It reminds the tired refrain of “you have to adapt anyway, in a
short while it will be like that”, while it is *ME* who acts and
decides (like in: no more cash money, an IP-address for each light
bulb etc.).

Cloud is great for them, they love buzzwords.

But buzzwords do not push buttons, buzzwords do not sign
contracts. I may share your opinion, Marco, but the illusions must end.

It cannot be just laziness.
