They're always out for training.
The last time we had a real issue, their lead guy said "I see the issue" - after we found it on our own, not proactively, like he's supposed to be doing with all his different systems.
I'm in IT, working on virtualization, we had a mandate from our CIO to cut capital spending and move systems to the cloud, but she got canned, so that project is pretty much dead. Waiting for finance to complain about all the operating costs of the stuff that was moved to the cloud.

There are some savings out there, but moving stuff to the cloud just because it is the buzzword of the day is not a good reason to move to the cloud.
For example, a large employer here lost communications by phone because they use a cloud provided VoIP vendor and the storms in central Iowa affected us way over here. They couldn't even make inter-office calls.
