By placing the distributed system in a large company's proprietary network, let's say E&Y wiht 86,000 employees nationwide, you are eliminating much of the cost benefit of the solution. Who would man the data center and support it. If the customer does it, he is simply implementing a new architecture and not buying a service. This is how MSFT can gain a significant advantage, for if the big boys keep everything in house, MSFT will say why switch when Office 2000 can be distributed? If the large customer requests that we supply the manpower, we serve more as a consulting/temp agency than a service provider. Which means scalable margins will fall. I cannot go any farther into this since I don't want to give any ideas to the enemy:-)
