This was in reference to @IPGJames definition. Following his example below, I'd never buy TSG wheels from CSG because you guys don't make the wheels (obviously that doesn't make a lot of sense). Certainly a company that performs thorough 2nd hand R&D for their integrations and also supports their customers is worthy of a purchase whether they're 1st or 3rd party.

dealing with the specialist gets you right to the point...it is what they do...it isn't what they want to slap their name on and try to sell today.

this is coming from 15 years of direct market experience..i have seen quite a lot come and go.
