I am not sure IBM should do something they were not asked to do. Not what they quoted for, IMO.

  Consultant <> Contractors <> Freelancers.. Consultants are there to provide advice, guidance, strategy, and oversee/implement. Contractors are there to be implement something that's already laid out for them. Freelancers have a tiny portion of the work to do with little to no say. Often, freelancers are upset that their customers don't want them to be a consultant and care about their opinions. There appear to be 2 key failures of the vendor: 1) There's a big difference between being a consultant, contractor, or a freelancer. IBM is there to provide expertise to have a successful project. 2) Disfunction and inefficiency is profitable. It's good such behaviour is coming to light, because future up and companies will eat IBM's lunch in time.
