Large enterprises are mostly concerned about whom to hold responsible and get support when stuffs break. For this reason, they have no problems shelling out big $$$ to buy from big players (even if your SaaS product is better) because they are guaranteed to be around when required.

You are right, accountability is one valid point, and large companies typically are used to having people on speed dial, when things break.

But then - aren't there questions about - how really agile they really are?

Large operations with a lot of custom software, and license based models and Time & Material based customization - it is always very hard to get things moving faster.

Also, I feel Large Operations have to hire a lot of people - just to manage what vendors are deploying. Very large operational costs.
