Why does everyone think we all flip companies and work in consulting. With all due respect to the consultants here the majority of projects designed by consultants for the enterprise I work for have either fallen way short or failed. Cutting edge here means proving we can do projects ourselves that are better, using the right technology.

Believe it or not I've only written one piece of code that's ever used more than 5% of the server. The idea of maxing out the hardware eight years ago was a concern, now it's a joke. Every single one of my projects require autehnitcation to use or is still stuck with an MS Access front end, we know the scope. MS Access is a real issue as is migrating to web based APIs and trying to make the life of other units easier.

Think outside the Enterprise/Consultant box.
