No, Services are sold at a profit, at some point you become large enough that you are better to own your own stuff.
This example won't be "perfect" but think of it like this. If you made the world's comfiest chair, you start a web site, and you ship via Fed-Ex. You grow, and soon stores want to carry your chair, so you go from Fedex to an outsourced Distribution center like Navis. Soon Target wants to carry your stuff, so you buy a Plane, and some semis and ship directly to big clients with your fleet of trucks. You go from "Managed" to "dedicated" to "Self" hosting your logistics. Because at each stage of the game what is "cheapest" is based on your capacity and the mark up of the solution.
