This is a generalization of Neil K's law of software consultancy: "Any firm that calls itself a solutions provider is actually a problem provider".
I mean that literally. The consultant offers a solution to an acute problem, in exchange for the client voluntarily accepting a chronic problem.
Typically, only open source or open standard technologies actually solve problems.
