Unfortunately this excludes most mid-large corporate IT departments...

Yes, I have found the very same thing. Once you reach an organisation size that has its own IT department then (generally speaking) anything they don't know or aren't expert in gets little real consideration. It's sad but understandable I guess, they're protecting their jobs. Pity they don't see it as a chance to learn and grow and really impress management with a great solution.

On the other hand (generally speaking again) most small companies have small budgets and just want a quick (and usually dirty) solution (usually developed by graduates at the lowest rates). For most ancillary systems I think this is fine and pragmatic, but not for core business systems that the company is going to run on, and will be maintained and modified for many years.

Of course, there are exceptions, IT departments with leaders that really understand what they are doing and the technology involved, and smaller companies that do the same (or may have a champion within that can support a great solution).

Cheers,
Ashley.
