Hello all,
I would like to discuss the role of the System integrators Companies (project management companies) VS vendors Companies.
Lately, I have being seeing system integrator companies taking some request from federal and government agency for large orders such as requesting $20 Million of CISCO or Juniper products or $15 Million of fujitsu Siemens or SUN Servers , etc?
What I see now, is that these government and federal agency are sending quotation request to both types of companies to compete on that.

My question, which one mostly likely will deliver and succeed on that type of request and what roles and advantage can distinguish each of these types of companies from another.

Thank you,
fab
