Innovation and mega vendors

Today I participated at CEE IT Leaders Summit to a panel related to innovation and if mega vendors set-up the agenda of innovation. My comment was related about what innovation we are speaking: IT innovation or business innovation? The innovation should be managed by business and IT should find solutions to assure fast, flexible and solid implementations. Mega vendors can not themselves generate business innovation. Technical innovation is coming sometime from small companies until they are buying by a mega vendor. IT itself can be partner to innovation, to be the trigger, to evangelize some best practices, to synthesize and to assure a governance of change management and innovation. Of course mega vendors are necessary for there R&D and can serve some innovation ideas.
