What about the other goof? Mixing a consulting business with product development can be a very bad thing. Good scenario: The consultants roar out there to install the stuff the developers create. The revenue from the consulting sustains the developers until the product starts to generate its own revenues. Bad scenario: The consultants roar out there and discover that the product is great on paper but sucks to implement. The revenues from the product don't materialize. The consultants start to resent the in-house developers for sucking up "their" money. Life sucks. I have been exactly there. A good consulting house that "went for the gold" and developed a product that could not be sold. This was the reason I sold in such a hurry yesterday. The name was the final straw. "Hi. I'm from InPrise...." "Who???" Any thoughts?
