I would love to tackle this problem. The problem is that even if you had the greatest technical solution, you would still have to sell it to big companies. This means having a big sales force and long sales cycles, which means VC investment (in a non-sexy area, good luck). Alternately, you could start with smaller companies that would be more reasonable to sell to, but then you'd have to bootstrap a reputation before you could sell to bigger companies, and that would take many years, also requiring VC funds. I think it would be doable and ridiculously satisfying to succeed at, but it's a very different business, structurally, than most YCNews readers are interested in.
