For such a large company, this was a very simple deal. Since this is a smaller project, they were willing to work on my paper for the contract, which sped things up significantly. I was contacted by the CTO about three months ago, and he introduced me to several of the hiring managers. They were comparing us against two smaller competitors. One of them had a very public layoff during the process, so that knocked them out. The second did not have the resume that we do, so we were able to edge past them. Our pricing was a little higher, but our reputation justified it.
