Refreshing Vendor Story

I met with a Security Vendor today. I told him what I wanted and he told me that his company could do it but that they usually did not work with financial institutions because that was not their specialty. He said that they felt better giving a referral to a competitor than giving us below par security. I kept waiting for him to start laughing but he was serious. He said that they are great at what they do, but for our industry they just chose to stay out. How often does that happen?
