Does any large consulting company like Accenture or CapGem have Grails support??

Hey guys,

I wish this were an interesting technical question, but it's an IT Culture issue instead.

Short version is, we're getting push back from using Grails, and urged to do Plain Old Spring MVC because our sustainment folks don't believe that anyone will be able to maintain it.

Our company (Fortune 100) already uses the vendors listed above, so they're the first choice. But are there other established outsourcers that our folks could use for sustaining engineering?

After using Grails to build a technically ambitious project, a few short months. I can't imagine NOT using it!

Scott - did you manage to speak to Wayne Lund like I suggested?

Cheers

Hi Scott, after working on two very ambitious (and challenged) Grails
projects I believe your last statement is your final analysis.

Cheers!

I've seen these guys http://www.intelligrape.com but have not used them so can't really comment or recommend. Maybe worth getting in touch with them though.

Graeme, 

I can't find the message where you suggested that I speak with Wayne. Could you resend it?

Or maybe you don't need to, since I just googled him and see that he's @ Accenture - which is totally the right answer! Thanks for the pointer.
