		<description>Vlad I agree that it SEEMS like it&#039;s inevitable. However, the big guys completely suck at providing complete solutions. They even give their own PARTNERS crummy off-shore support. Another point to consider is that there has yet to be a very successful rollup of IT Solution Providers. If it can&#039;t be built from the ground up (with active clients already on board), then it is even harder to build it from the top down. I&#039;ll bet that they will fail at least one more time with &quot;Live&quot; solutions.</description>
