Software in crunch
It was always a no brainer to go for low risk in recessionary times.Those who lived through the last recession of the early 90 's saw it linger for 10 years under the labour government and still many people have not recovered.The phase on many medium sized companies is I don't beleive its going to get that bad...but it has.So people are thinking bad times are here to stay.ISV and big household names don't live for ever but the company must survive.Software can be critical to survival and as the man says business leaders are seeing the value in the downturn
