Colony</cite></a>, Forrester&#8217;s CEO.</p> <p>1) <strong>Tech will be down, but not out.</strong> 2001-2003 was a tech depression. Spending stopped, projects were canceled, excess inventory flooded the market destroying pricing. Cisco lost half a trillion dollars of market cap. Why? Tech had a long way to fall. Tech spending in 2000 in the U.S. was up 12% - there was fluff and fat everywhere. When the bubble burst, the fall was precipitous. But tech spending was up only 6% from 2006 to 2007. Users of technology are far more disciplined and have cut out the nonsense. So yes, growth will slow, but it won&#8217;t fall off a cliff.</p> <p>2) <strong>Transformation and innovation will lead recovery.</strong> CIOs and CEOs are telling me that they plan to change their way out of this mess. Goldman Sachs is scoping best practices in commercial banking (its new world). JP Morgan has to integrate Bear Stearns. Bank of America will be converting and integrating its systems to fit with Merrill Lynch. Wal-Mart is going to use social computing to increase customer responsiveness. FedEx is replacing its data centers with high-efficiency, green designs. When we come out the other side of this crisis, companies will look quite different - and technology will have been a catalyst in those changes.</p> @@ -198,11 +194,7 @@ <p class="technorati-tags">Technorati Tags: <a class="technorati-link" href="http://technorati.com/tag/Analysts" rel="tag" target="_self">Analysts</a>, <a class="technorati-link" href="http://technorati.com/tag/Technology" rel="tag" target="_self">Technology</a></p> -<!-- end wp-tags-to-technorati --> - -<p><a href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/Nz8ID9BPu5ZSdgZWt_gM5Uveihs/a"><img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/Nz8ID9BPu5ZSdgZWt_gM5Uveihs/i" border="0" ismap="true" /></a></p><div class="feedflare"> -<a href="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~f/ItalosOOoBlog?a=cTHHR1iA"><img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~f/ItalosOOoBlog?d=41" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~f/ItalosOOoBlog?a=krsSTqSU"><img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~f/ItalosOOoBlog?d=50" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~f/ItalosOOoBlog?a=mHQbC9om"><img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~f/ItalosOOoBlog?i=mHQbC9om" border="0" /></a> -</div><img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~r/ItalosOOoBlog/~4/icDg_MdX5dM" height="1" width="1" /></content:encoded> +<!-- end wp-tags-to-technorati --></content:encoded> <dc:date>2009-02-06T00:00:38+00:00</dc:date> </item> <item rdf:about="http://www.solidoffice.com/?p=996";> File [changed]: rss20.xml Url: http://marketing.openoffice.org/source/browse/marketing/www/planet/rss20.xml?r1=1.632&r2=1.633 Delta lines: +4 -12 -------------------- --- rss20.xml 2009-02-07 00:00:54+0000 1.632 +++ rss20.xml 2009-02-09 18:00:58+0000 1.633 @@ -139,24 +139,20 @@ <item> <title>Italo Vignoli: OpenOffice.org 3 Writer Guide</title> <guid>http://www.italovignoli.org/2009/02/openofficeorg-3-writer-guide/</guid> - <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ItalosOOoBlog/~3/ojdDXbnRJO4/</link> + <link>http://www.italovignoli.org/2009/02/openofficeorg-3-writer-guide/</link> <description><p>The manual, edited by OOoAuthors, it&#8217;s available at <a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/5637448"><em>Lulu</em></a>.

Colony</cite></a>, Forrester&#8217;s CEO.</p> <p>1) <strong>Tech will be down, but not out.</strong> 2001-2003 was a tech depression. Spending stopped, projects were canceled, excess inventory flooded the market destroying pricing. Cisco lost half a trillion dollars of market cap. Why? Tech had a long way to fall. Tech spending in 2000 in the U.S. was up 12% - there was fluff and fat everywhere. When the bubble burst, the fall was precipitous. But tech spending was up only 6% from 2006 to 2007. Users of technology are far more disciplined and have cut out the nonsense. So yes, growth will slow, but it won&#8217;t fall off a cliff.</p> <p>2) <strong>Transformation and innovation will lead recovery.</strong> CIOs and CEOs are telling me that they plan to change their way out of this mess. Goldman Sachs is scoping best practices in commercial banking (its new world). JP Morgan has to integrate Bear Stearns. Bank of America will be converting and integrating its systems to fit with Merrill Lynch. Wal-Mart is going to use social computing to increase customer responsiveness. FedEx is replacing its data centers with high-efficiency, green designs. When we come out the other side of this crisis, companies will look quite different - and technology will have been a catalyst in those changes.</p> @@ -171,11 +167,7 @@ <p class="technorati-tags">Technorati Tags: <a class="technorati-link" href="http://technorati.com/tag/Analysts" rel="tag" target="_self">Analysts</a>, <a class="technorati-link" href="http://technorati.com/tag/Technology" rel="tag" target="_self">Technology</a></p> -<!-- end wp-tags-to-technorati --> - -<p><a href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/Nz8ID9BPu5ZSdgZWt_gM5Uveihs/a"><img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/Nz8ID9BPu5ZSdgZWt_gM5Uveihs/i" border="0" ismap="true" /></a></p><div class="feedflare"> -<a href="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~f/ItalosOOoBlog?a=cTHHR1iA"><img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~f/ItalosOOoBlog?d=41" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~f/ItalosOOoBlog?a=krsSTqSU"><img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~f/ItalosOOoBlog?d=50" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~f/ItalosOOoBlog?a=mHQbC9om"><img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~f/ItalosOOoBlog?i=mHQbC9om" border="0" /></a> -</div><img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~r/ItalosOOoBlog/~4/icDg_MdX5dM" height="1" width="1" /></description> +<!-- end wp-tags-to-technorati --></description> <pubDate>Fri, 06 Feb 2009 00:00:38 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
