One of the most funny things to watch is how a middleman defends his parasitic existence:
"The reason we don't provide prices upfront is because it commoditizes the software and therefore our skills [selling software they DIDN'T write] and services.
It encourages clients to do an extremely shallow feature-by-feature comparison of the competing products. Doing that makes sense when purchasing commodities such as toothpaste or laundry detergent. You can look at two products at the shelf, compare their features, and go with the one that you think is better based on the messaging on the package ("25% more whitening power!").
But enterprise software is not like that [HAHAHAHA]. It is very complex and the price of the software is often only a small part of the final price, which is frankly unknown at the start of the engagement. That's why me giving you pricing information wouldn't help you one bit (in fact it could make you look bad to your superiors when the final price is several times higher than what you gave them originally)."
I am an important man who provide a service! Most of our clients like to be fucked in the ass! I am the same businessman as you!
