Hello Corporation:  An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility.* * may not be true
Reality Large companies come in all shapes. Some are awesome, some are not.
Selling WP You’re actually dealing with individuals But their biggest fear is not the same as a consumer’s Cultural matching

Editor's Notes

  1. An employee in a large organisation isn’t spending their own money – savings are important, but so is their job security/promotions.We use Dell’s, and so do they…
  2. They want you to take responsibility, offer ongoing support. Be careful of relying too much on complex plugins. Performance is critical.
  3. They really don’t care about the GPL, but you can sell one massive benefit – they’ll never have to remember how many CPUs they’re using, or how many users they have.
  4. WP-DirAuth, Consider using OpenAuth instead of LDAP
