We spend a lot of time tracking the economy and its impact on our clients and prospects. So, with this year winding down, here are my bold (and not so bold) predictions:
1. The US economy will slow down in 2008 but not enter a recession as the Bush administration fights to keep the economy humming.
2. Software sales activity will be strong as enterprises look for competitive advantages and as they have long consumed their "inventory" of software they bought around 2000.
3. SaaS will continue to be strong
4. Strong markets will be:
- Healthcare - spurred on by legislative changes
- Supply Chain - changes in the US$ and the high cost of fuel will spur on domestic production
- Localized/specialized Social Networks as people understand the value of these networks
