Reply to "How do you feel about the industry?"

When you have created the prospect I notice now customers seem to still go to market and price check. Even presuming you keep the deal (typically I have) its been extremely margin limiting! I'm presuming this is a symptom of the GFC but also this "commoditization" I hear bounced around so much.

Anyway it seems you have to work harder and harder every year, I'm not opposed to working hard but will be interesting to see when the industry bottoms out.

It would seem only the leading edge of the technology industry retains margins so perhaps its just a case of moving on to the next thing.

In my part of the world allot of the old school guys have left the industry and gotten into Real Estate of all things. But I do know they all struggled with the increasing technological side of our industry.

I certainly enjoy the industry and all its challenges but I'm keeping a close eye on whats happening.

That is my rant anyway
