L,

The problem as I see it, is that if there is an area that needs support, the support is provided at some outrageous price, until the software is corrected to perform better, or implemented differently to remove the requirement for the consultant support.

Look at all of the scrambling that is currently going on for the Y2K problem, at the end of this cycle, the consultants won't be required! This is typical of everything! If there is a shortage, the price is initially high, and everybody sees a way to make a 'bundle' so a ton of people are 'drawn' into the market, and soon the pay is average! You have to be there first to make the big bucks!

JMHO

Regards,

Ken

re: I believe that this is the area where IBM is growing it's business significantly. I also think that as we increasingly network resources and link to master scheduling/planning Level 3 type computers that these services will be increasingly required. This CPQ/DEC combination shows that CPQ is forward looking

Lee,
This is one of the reasons I am short DELL.
Thanks for reiterating the point.

Jim
