Yeah, this is written from the boss's point of view (because, duh, it's a CIO who wrote it), but it certainly applies to anybody working in a smaller company who needs attention from a big vendor (for sales, tech support, whatever):

Herein lies the problem. Just because Sequoia is a $25 million dollar organization (in revenue), that does not exempt us from some of the same challenges that larger organizations endure. Although $25,000 may not seem like a large amount to IBM, imagine if they had many customers similar in size to Sequoia.

Enjoy your life; be pleasant and gay, like the birds in May.
