> They weren't able to automate away the expensive process of having Forward Deployed Engineers do data integration work. Enterprise in a nutshell. And honestly, not what the customers want. If they're hiring you in the first place, they generally suck at tech. So they'd much rather have "Stanford grads on site every day" as proof of how they're spending money. So it's a non-starter for Palantir's management when they're looking at existing customers and their desires, and the continuing trickle of naive tier 1 undergrads. Just keep the company cool enough to attract the crop under Google, Amazon, & FB... And if the customers don't want 100% software data integration, then why spend a lot of money to automate 85% of it?
