Dear List,
I was wondering what the experiences are out there when comparing the following:
- Systems Integrators i.e., small and medium-sized companies that specialise in electrical design PLC, SCADA and other programming (not talking about the really small integrators with only a few people on staff or run from a SOHO -- just small and medium sized)
- Full Service i.e., large company that provides civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, ... -- one-stop shopping for the end customer so to speak
I am interested in facts / opinions that compare integrators with the big guys (pricing, value for money, quality of work, support, ... and everything else) -- both points of view are of interest -- either for or against one of the two approaches. This comparison is for any size of projects from modifying a rung of ladder logic to setting up a new facility.
Experiences could cover cases of integrators directly employed by the end customer or indirectly employed as a sub-contractor to the main contractor.
Any feedback on-list or off-list would be appreciated.
FYI, we are one of the small to medium-sized integrators.
Thanks
