For the last five years, there has been a common chorus among local tech companies; they want more of the large government contracts. We all want a piece of that large cake.

Most of the money spent on government tech projects has gone to large corporations like Oracle, SAP, IBM etc. With the big budgetary requirements, many companies are locked out of these projects.

The talk of technology transfer has been on for so long but the international companies just set up local branches, poach the guys from the local companies and move on. Its a competitive environment and the options look minimal.
