Re the MS route.
YE FUCKING GODS NO!
You think the amount we're spending now is a lot, you contract someone like MS, and you may as well just give them out bank account and fold.
Oh, and if you think what I've said before about "lock in" and "dependency" is bad, you wait till you have a solely 100% MS solution.
No, of all the ideas so far, sorry to say, but this is the worst one yet. I say that as someone with 20 years experience in this industry.
I do think we should be using the going bust of the primary contractor to pause everything, and if necessary put the next path to an EGM, or similar democratic process. We don't have to go down on the SS GoodMoneyAfterBad.
I have a question for Frankie, what is the current number of lines of code on the old site?
