I wonder if the competition in EU is hard enough, if companies always choose the "safe" or "good enough" solution?

- tormeh 8y agoMe too. I've heard an observation from a Belgian customer: Once a Belgian customer has signed a contract with a supplier, they're married, and will put up with all kinds of shitty product. Presumably, I speculate, because cancelling the contract is seen as an admission of failure for the buyer. Completely crazy. Entire countries never cancelling no matter how shitty the product turns out to be.
- umichguy 8y agoSounds a bit like IBM back in the day. There's an anecdote that you never got fired as a manger for choosing an IBM product/ solution. It's the safe choice, no one could really fault you for going with it, even if it didn't meet all your reqts.
