How big companies drive innovation in government IT — FCW
Comment I read with interest — and some concern — the Sept. 27 commentary on FCW.com titled ” The true source of innovation in federal IT.” Although the author discusses several issues related to the limited abilities of large IT companies to bring innovation to the government, I have a different perspective on how innovation happens.

You can argue the merits of large and small all day, but until we make it easier, faster & cheaper for governments to procure and businesses of any size to bid, we’ll keep spending money on procedure that should otherwise be invested in outcomes.

Smaller companies can be nimble and agile, but they also have a hard time breaking into Fed Gov and into big companies (who are trying to reduce the number of suppliers they have to transact with)
