Hi friends,
I get mixed feedback from my partner friends around the globe! It looks like there is much talk about recession but the IT sector has only been hit a little bit. The partners that are more affected are the ones that sell hardware, manning and licenses in the SmallBiz and MidMarket space. All other areas seems to be more or less in good shape - and some are in great shape.
In the very best shape are partners that are doing outsourcing and cloud computing because their offerings are both 'hip' and they reduce the cost for customer's IT operations.
The very best vertical seems to be the Public sector but I must admit that I get mixed feedback here - in some countries selling to the Public sector is a nightmare but in most countries it looks like the Public sector is the place to be in!
And this month when you open up your Financial Times, Wall Street Journal or whatever your poison is - you see that there are not only negative news - our politicians and stock markets have started to see the light in the end of the tunnel.
Regards, Per
