- Outlook Separation Anxiety Holds Back Google Apps — Business Center — PC World — People want to stick with with MS Outlook because it’s so painful to use, counter-intuitive and flawed in so many ways.

2) insourcing is typically cheaper
3) companies want to change their postion in the market and outsourcing stops business change.Tell me I’m wrong ?
