I like your response on the platform vendor offering consulting services.
Your first couple of points are spot on, and something that I have definitely experienced in my career having dealt with multiple tech platforms.
One additional point you might want to highlight:
Product company consultants come with a (more or less) strong knowledge of their product, but don't have the expertise nor the experience to contextualize that knowledge within a complex system integration environment.
They might understand the workings of a single organ but have no clue how it interacts with the rest of the body.
I wouldn’t want a doctor with such a narrow understanding to have anything to do with my care!
As usual, so much value in your newsletter!

Thanks TMC,
That's actually a really useful point. I might incorporate that in future. I like that.
