Then again, I have seen the results of "consultants" who have basically pissed away a large amount of client capital (after getting their cut of course) chasing the Next Big Thing because it sounded cool, and M$ was so behind the Next Big Thing (Oracle too, and IBM, and even Novell at times). So, rather than strive to do a good, qaulity job, they hit and run with dazzling claims, then leave the likes of Ed (even myself to a far lesser degree, as I do not like mopping up after someone else's mess when all the capital is already gone <g>) to clean up the problems. The "consultant" is off to their next victim, and who is the wiser? Do you think he/she is going to give their previous screwup as a reference? No, they duck behind the NDA Shield and claim "I'd love to tell you, but has to remain confidential..." Those that speak loudest, and beat their chests hardest, often have the most to hide and need to make a big sound to cover up their inadequacies. Me, I lurk quietly in the background and offer my opinion when it seems warranted. If a prospect feels compelled to follow someone else's recommendation with Candyland Technology with the Acronymn Of The Day terminology, then let the lemmings run. I prefer to work with folks who want reasonable, highly cost effective solutions that return excellent results to maximize their ability to leverage their technology investment for their business advantage. These kinds of solid clients let those competitors that fall prey to the Loud Voices burn off their capital in nonsensical ways. In short, I guess the My Evil Other Self kind of likes the victimizer consultants, makes things better for me in a way.
