<ul>
<li>Application config-installs are being destroyed by SaaS (i.e. Salesforce.com gigs are 10% the size — in terms of revenue — as Sieble gigs)</li>
<li>SaaS – SaaS integration is being increasingly handled via partnership arrangements.</il>
<ul>
The last few hopes for SIs, such as identity management, and an 80% solution will work for most business, negating much of the the need for large integration projects.

I think the SI roll needs to morph into something focused on companies work smarter not harder: how to use technology, not how to deploy technology. Like Tesco (http://peter.evans-greenwood.com/2009/09/09/tes…). Modelling and understanding rather than plumbing and infrastructure.
