No, it is still alive. Processes for approving outside software still exist as is convincing stakeholders. Also, I don't think its a good idea to rely on startups for larger businesses because of the very fact they get acquired / acquihired or simply close down and you are left with no alternative. If it is a open source project with a company that offers a service and support contract then maybe but there are really large companies where Enterprise software still reigns.
