Interesting to hear, although a lot of companies still rely on emailing documents to each other. A few years ago I interviewed with a consultancy that provided a lot of development work for easyJet. They were operating under an old model of both work organisation and technology and not very keen to change. Interview went OK until I met the company CTO, who's personality left a lot to be desired. We ended up having a heated discussion about the need to innovate, or not in his case. Unsurprisingly, I never heard back from them.

I think I even know the person you are talking about and yeah... :D I do feel that there is a culture in these big OLD (=old ibm mentality) where there is no need to innovate and it always costs a lot to do things right. The only reason they do is because some engineers are really pushing for it and making it happen.
