Interesting point - how many of those buying systems have quizzed
their suppliers about the professional qualifications of their staff ?
What was their response ? Do you think it matters ? If not, why not ?
I would be interested to know what both buyers and suppliers think
(like Mike I am neither, but I am a member of the BCS). Gerard (and
others) - any thoughts / comparisons from over the seas ?
