The Economy is coming around.

Everyone I meet asks, “How do you see the economy? How are your clients doing?”

In general, our clients are holding their own by carefully watching expenses. I would split my clients into the following categories:

1/3rd are outpacing the market and continue to invest in technology for strategic advantage
1/3rd continue to implement planned upgrades and are keeping current with technology for tactical reasons
1/3rd are in a holding pattern and are neither increasing or decreasing their IT spending habits

I was at an industry conference and peer group meeting in Orlando the week before last.
