SLIDE 45 Enterprise software purchasing
- CIO/CTO/CMOs drive tech strategy
- Long term relationships with major suppliers
- Global technical decisions rarely made in AU/NZ
- Platforms in place for 5-10 years or more
- BUT! Drupal gaining Enterprise legitimacy,
pushing large vendors to respond with services
SLIDE 46 Where does this leave us*?
*The smaller independent Drupal shops tucked at the bottom of the world
