Funny how differently I remember this…

1. Email from Bill that our settings changed
2. Bill support has zero clue
3. Takes days for us to get it resolved

Random changes with our accounting is a big deal

Kickstarted our migration away

Aka datacenters mapped with all the stuff they need to matter.
