If you're happy where you're at. No one is telling you to leave them. But let's just play devils advocate here...
If said company tomorrow announced that they sold, What do you think that the acquiring company would do first? They would look at was the first document you signed with the company you mentioned above? Or any of the industry competitors that would be acquired in this space?
See here's the part that everyone is missing or is just choosing to forget. We asked a company how much? They replied, and we said how much of that is contracted revenue? at that moment. That's where the valuation of said contracts came into play.
Now if a representative when the sale was made said. "Look.... they are strong at enforcing the contracts and yours renews on this date, so mark it down make yourself a reminder, and hit me then. I can work with you then, but I can't do anything prior to that date except give you a new environment but the contract number can't be less" You as the customer have 2 options.
A) Make a reminder on your calendar to hit me up and redo everything to fit your needs.
B) Do nothing and get grumpy when YOU missed your date.
Any customers here in other competing companies. I'm sure your happy where you're at and has anyone from TSS approached you trying to "Steal you away" or have we talked bad about any competitors? Nope we don't do that. What we do though is help you where they can't, with a global foot print to satisfy any request, dam near anywhere.

You addressed a bunch of stuff there.
The only thing I made a comment on was your statement that the only REAL business that gets done is with contracts.
Of course, you addressed almost everything but that.
Your company chooses to use a contract model, that what you do, no problem, that is your model.
But your statement regarding business and contracts was arrogant and incorrect.
