Yeah I have. You know who actually does that low margin work? Deployment companies, consultants and implementors, outsourcing firms. There's a reason why "SAP Certified Specialists" exist. There's a reason that there are programs and credentials that teach people to deploy this stuff. Because SAP and Oracle are actual software companies unlike Palantir.

Palantir hires young smart (but not street smart) Ivy league engineers that have no clue how actual enterprise software works ... much like the founders and management team of Palantir.

Not always. A lot of software companies that provide enterprise-level software but aren't the SAPs and Oracles of the world often supply in-house implementors, who work for weeks or months with customers to integrate those products into existing system (at a cost).
