Question needs clarification. Force and Amazon are primarily CaaS vendors and I may use them to host my own companies web facing applications. But I may use SssS applications hosted by Force/Amazon, but this depends on the application vendor.

However, office apps are not my highest priority, and will likely keep them locally hosted for the near future.
