Which companies? I’ve never seen anyone willing to do that in decades of contracting.
Maybe it’s just different here in Denmark, but people never buy things here without knowing what they buy.
- baobabKoodaa 5y agoI'm not at liberty to disclose company names, but I live in Finland and I can tell you it's normal here. It's basically equivalent to "renting" workers. I would be willing to bet that "rent-a-worker" industry exists in Denmark as well, and that it also includes IT work.

I mean, I’m not saying that the other way works. All our major IT systems are delayed and over budget, but there are detailed and outlined requirements that aren’t delivered.
- baobabKoodaa 5y agoI've seen deals where a company sells a pack of consultants to a multi-year project with a price tag of over 1M euros. I don't know if this happens when the scale is 10M+, but it does happen at 1M scale.
