This is what we are doing with my company. We build out tooling that benefits everyone and open source most of it, but our bread and butter is consulting. Our consulting leads us to build more tooling to make our jobs easier, which leads to more effectively delivering our consulting.

I think this is the model most of the big shops like IBM and Oracle also use. Infrastructure tooling is not usually a core competency for most companies, and they want others to do it for them.
