    Microsoft doesn’t have a monopoly on Software. At least, not any more. Open Source is the way to go, and there are plenty of Open Source consulting firms out there. Red Hat, Nextcloud, Redpill Linpro, etc.

      They have a near monopoly on compliance though which is the draw of government cloud. It’s a totally different product from their commercial offerings. The software portion isn’t really a factor, it’s the paperwork and audit results.
