I'm french.
During several years as an IT member of an American company my internal softwares were rejected because of nih. Well not really rejected but the amount of money dedicated to those projects was in the 1 to 100000 as compared to big holes like 'I want to spend 200 M$' on my new SAP and 3 years later management is changed, you've spent 120 M$ in nothing and switched to another big iron called it oracle or whatever. This is not informatics, this is not software, this not technology.
We must all come back to artisans as we were at the beginning of the web.
Not to mention the fact that directing people, even bright one, from oversea is frustrating. I know this.
As I say it anytime a big project is launching in a corporation, why not buy a company who is specialized in this domain. it costs less.
