But this is still consultancy work, right? So the differentiator here is managing those integrations like a real software company and thus cutting costs?

- villasv 5y agoSame is true for any consultancy company, of course.
- toomuchtodo 5y agoIn my experience, working with consultancies, they are not engineering first organizations. They are business types who have bolted on engineering (think legacy automakers bolting together binned products), instead of organically turbocharging their growth through automation and software engineering best practices (think Tesla vertically integrating and "building the machine that builds the machine"). If you're an MBA or biz type, you want to be at the former. If you're an engineer, you want to be at the latter.
- Grustaf 5y agoWhy would it be consultancy? They only need to write e.g. the Wix-extraction code once hopefully, and then just run it for each new client. Seems very scalable.
