Basecamp-maker 37Signals has announced that its "cloud exit" will save the company $10 million over five years. The move comes after the company's co-founder, David Heinemeier Hansson, expressed frustration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and declared a "Return to Windows." 37Signals is not alone in questioning the cloud model; some experts argue that the trend of companies repatriating their data from the cloud may be overstated. Analyst Lydia Leong notes that surveys and anecdotal news stories can be misleading, as they often confuse different forms of repatriation with a broader movement away from the cloud.
