Long tail in SAP consulting..consultants and monitiztion..using SpinAct..
From my blog at SpinAct.com..
A few days ago, I posted a blog entry about the power of crowdsourcing, and why the model allows customers to find viable $1 solutions to $100 problems.
Consultants might feel ripped off by the crowdsourcing idea, because it seems to exert downward price pressure on their fees. If you charge $100 an hour to provide a service that someone else provides for $10 an hour, isn’t it game over? And shouldn’t you work as hard as possible to preserve your margins?
