This is due to the numerous benefits that come with the decision, including the access you can get to experts, improved cybersecurity and increased productivity throughout the entire business.

Based on my years of experience in both startups and large companies, trusted relationships are more the key to success than a great business model, how smart you are, or how much money you have.
