Speaking about understanding words differently depending on the language, I hadn't understood constractors the way you meant it apparently.
Oh well, no big deal, you learn something new everyday.

External contractors such as the ones we meet in IT field.
Also called consultants, from companies (SSII) such as Atos Origin, Cap Gemini, ...

ah yes, the Consultant ! exotic beast, very little is known about them, notably their activities, which remain mysterious despite the exorbitant amounts of money spent on studying them...

Not all of them cost tons of money and do arcane work.
Some of them are very cheap and only do development, system admin or support work. That's what I did for the last 3,5 years.
And now I'm going away to greener pastures (or the hope of them anyway).

well, if you say so...

(i'm teasing you. i have a friend who is a consultant, for cap gemini in fact. i've known him for years, and although he tells me about his different missions, i *still* have no idea exactly what he does all day. )
