This is how most mid-size traditional consulting companies work. You can switch the word Microsoft to IBM or Oracle or something else.
This is how you get referrals. Like it or not, it's business.
- bediger 15y agoI realize that traditional consulting companies hitch themselves to particular vendors or sets of vendors. I was surprised that consultants would act as Party Commissars, reporting developers or groups that depart from their preferred vendor(s). I thought reporting people for deviation from a party line went out in 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell.
- hkarthik 15y agoA lot of the folks that I referred to are actually independent consultants, or switching consulting companies regularly. That phenomenon transcends the typical consulting firm loyalty and is more of a culture around Microsoft products.
