Why customers stay客户为什么留下
One software system across every switch, plus deep entrenchment with the largest cloud companies. The matching risk is concentration: Microsoft alone was 20% of revenue in FY2024, and Meta was more than 10% — a few customers drive much of the business.一套软件系统跑遍所有交换机，加上和最大的那几家云计算公司深度绑定。与之相对的风险是客户过于集中：光是 Microsoft 在2024财年就占了收入的20%，Meta 也超过10%——少数几个客户撑起了很大一部分业务。
