Re: Should a "Big 5" Firm Implement Your CMS?

Matthew,

Thank you for writing this article. FYI, I've often had consultants who 
worked for
these large firms tell me in private that the backchannel 'incentives' 
for promoting given products
are substantial and that for that reason they would _never_ recommend 
an open-source alternative,
no matter how appropriate.

But this is the first time that I've 'seen it in print', as they say.

Interesting
