And enabling employees to use AI more than the free tier is really expensive too. So, they need to cut cost elsewhere to balance it out.

      The worst part is that it was all down to our existing system being owned by Salesforce, and Larry Ellison hating the CEO of Salesforce.

      We could still use Amazon and Microsoft products but nothing from Saleforce because Uncle Larry was butthurt.
