I was recently commissioned by my boss to create a satellite web site separate from our company's main site to promote a consumer class action case.
In order to get a competitive price I looked at options online, local contractors, nation-wide companies, and of course software allowing me to design the site myself. After compiling the research and getting many prices I found a winner. What company? A small development company in Minnesota. This company offers fast service, solid tech, and a very competitive price.
The business world really is shrinking. Options that were not available to businesses are now reality. Local Augusta firms probably never dreamed of being in direct competition with companies on the other side of the country.
A final thought... imagine if I had started to search internationally?

It is amazing how technology has changed the way we do business. Companies are more at a disadvantage now. Not only do they have to keep up with local competitors but also competitors around the world. This is a huge undertaking. The market is now one in which the buyers have most of the power.
I beleive I.T. will help us become more competitive. Yes, it is painful to see us lose in the international business arena. And yes, it is also joyful to see us win.
Look at it this way, how proud are we if our products sell because of their design, quality, and reliability than because of the unavailability of alternatives.
Things are changing and trust me they will even change more. Buyers are some how ruling the market.
