Chris,
I read a story yesterday about a small company winning BIG contracts by
exploiting DoD security policies. Basically, 1) they guarantee that ZERO of
their work is off-shore and done exclusively by US citizens, 2) focus their
hiring on recently separated government IT personnel who have or have had
security clearances, and 3) have their development code inspected by
independent third-party companies/agencies trusted by the government.
Knowing how to do business with the DoD is something of an art in itself and
makes for a quite valuable/protected niche.

... I've been thinking of ways to polish an opportunity out of this
trend. To best express my thoughts, I quote from the article:
"In order to justify their high salaries, America's future IT workers will
need to be more like management consultants, strategists and
troubleshooters. They'll need an intimate understanding of the business so
that they can devise new IT solutions. They'll help decide which IT work can
most efficiently be outsourced; and they'll be liaisons between the work
that goes offshore, the work that's subcontracted to other companies in the
United States and the IT work done in-house."
Does anyone one this list know of a startup that is addressing this? I
suspect the "big three" are already in the game, but perhaps there's a
specialty or niche.
