Hey does anyone want to venture how far behind we are on migrating to Azure? All that money we diverted to Technology and what did we get? The current leadership and their buddies needs to be rotated out and search for folks who can really get work done.

Around 10 years behind by my estimate. Half of the issues are due to an inept networking/firewall team. The network is down more here in three months than in all of my other jobs combined. Changes are made without testing, network proxy issues are constant, groups aren’t communicating and only looking at what’s easiest for their group. Azure is a big thing to setup correctly and requires lots of focus and testing and cooperation. That doesn’t happen here. The entire IT BL should be trained and certified in Azure and Intune. No certification, no job.
I am involved in migrating some of my apps to Azure. This is one of the cr-ppiest project I have dealt in my career.
The whole pipeline su-ks full of bugs and needs people to monitor it. Too much manual stuff. After migrating to Azure you need more time baby sitting it... Bad design. US Bank has lost the true leadership. Looks like some highly paid consultants running this sh---y show.
Around 6-10 years behind other companies.
Putting your faith in Microsoft products has got to be one of the d-mbest moves a company can make. Doesn't surprise me that leadership would make that move.
More monkey see, monkey do, MS will jack rates way up once its all moved over saving nothing. Global cloud app outages like outlook and teams unavailable all business day recently will now be out of our control. All eggs in one basket now.
U.S. Bank is always last to figure things out. Once they find out about something, they are too slow to act on it. And to the extent that they invest in technology, they do it in the most wasteful and inefficient ways. Then when people call out what a mess U.S. Bank's tech is, the managing committee is confused.
