The two points are separate. The former is a fact, the latter is a general attitude. Not our company fortunately, but I have stuff to integrate with their systems. They had supply and maintenance contracts and soure escrow. The supplier went under rather than dropped the product - this is not typical. The replacement is being built by ex-members of the supplier working for the company. They won in a bad market so it's hardly a "tough" situation.
