    I get that they are cheap, is that the main reason these big companies go for them?

    Maybe the management get sold on the "experts" the likes of InfoSys have and don't do any due diligence beyond taking their word for it?
    There is your answer.

      Yup - we are just doing a large D365 install.

      We have a choice of 2 SI's one is a large UK based accountancy firm the other is a large indian firm who used to be in the steel industry.

      1 client is offering exactly what we want in terms of partnership, support business change etc etc.

      The other is offering to install the software for a lot less and are not really going to support the business transformation (which the business really needs as much as they need some new software) - obviously any changes will be chargeable

      The sad thing is we all know what choice is going to be made and I am wondering who the exec are going to try and blame when we get delivered does not work, the budget gets blown quicker than a pimp with a bag of coke and there is zero business transformation.

      Oh well - at least we are going in with eyes wide open.
