I guess this is what they mean by domain experience. One thing that this reinforces is that IT has always been and will always be an enabler. You need strong domain knowledge. A new firm can’t just walk right into the pharmacy business or banking business and start writing code from day 1. Either the start up needs to have some one, say a retired bank official, in its staff to bring the domain knowledge or needs to be heavily guided by the client company, t he latter making very less business sense for the client when there are other players out there with the knowledge unless there is a significant cost advantage!!!, strategic alliance or something?
The Accenture business model, as I understand after reading this, seems to be the way to go, but how viable would it be for a start up is questionable especially since these domain experts are bound to cost more than the average coder.
But the fact that they have PhD’s from the pharmacy domain working with them truly helps me look at the outsourcing outside of the narrow IT mindset that I have.
An informal fallacy in which one arguer uses a logically irrelevant "attack" on another arguer as a reason to disregard the second arguer’s argument. It is a fallacy of relevance. there are three types, Abusive, circumstantial and tu quoque.
Something that has been done to me plenty of times and unknowingly done many times too 
Added this logic book to my todo….let me see when this happens

A very intresting article that points out One thing among many other ‘eternal truths’ about EDA industry. What the author argues about the bloating of figures…I dont know…but this seems intresting
Big companies need to embrace start-ups and the growth-by-acquisition strategy. Most big EDA companies believe that, if they stop paying 10 times more revenue for EDA start-ups, EDA entrepreneurs will work for the big EDA vendors and innovate in-house. The fact is that most big EDA innovations come from start-ups. Again, EDA is a difficult and highly specialized field. The biggest tool innovations usually start with one grad student devoting his entire academic life to solving one problem. Architects at most big EDA companies are too busy upgrading yesterday’s tools to think deeply about tomorrow’s problems. Thus, if you don’t support the start-up model, you’re killing the industry’s future.
EDA industry needs a reality check
