We live in a world full of claims and marketing hype, but only those with lotsa technical knowledge and working in the game really know the answer to your question.
I can only say that my son Dave and his mate Alan chose Object as their first choice of employment, and have been on their staff since Feb '05. They say that Object is a fully Australian software development company, and whilst small in numbers with 200-300 developers compared to India's Infosys with 60,000 developers, they are actually "big" for an Australian software development company. Object is eagerly sought by the top graduates with the best IT degrees, and their team comprises the creme de la creme. Object does have an interest in software development for the medical industry, and do have a product being used in the marketplace (I think it is being used in some Tasmanian hospitals and 1 Victorian hospital) . Moreover, they are happy to develop further open source solutions - but their expertise is coding not implementation or helpdesk support. My observations are that taxpayers would get much more value by providing funds directly for software development than burning up these funds on talkfests. And my inside information is that Object are the top guns.
