Can recession stimulate new investment?
Running a business in times like these is never easy, but we are seeing more and more companies investing in new technology.
Why? Because businesses want to save money, and be more productive with fewer resources, and our technology helps them do this.
So it was no surprise when a recent report from Lloyds TSB confirmed that spending on wireless and IP technology is set to grow in 2009.
Perhaps that's partly because normal business will continue, despite all the dire predictions...
...However hysterical the media may become, we have to carry out ‘normal' business. We all have to carry on trading, looking perhaps at costs, rethinking operations and finding ways to be smarter, better and more efficient in the ways we do business.

We need to keep our heads. On the subject of which, did anybody read Boris Johnsons point on this in the Telegraph? Whatever you think of Boris, it was certainly entertaining. Here's a sample:
"Whoa! Come off it, folks! This isn't the Black Death. Pinch yourself. Are you still there? Got a pulse? Thought so. Look out of the window. Those aren't zombies. They are men and women engaged in the normal business of getting and spending.
This isn't some disaster movie about a virus from Mars. It's a recession, a downturn, a correction of a kind that is indispensable to any kind of human activity, and it does not require that we all go around under a special kind of credit-crunch pall. It does not mean we have to cancel all parties and talk in hushed credit-crunch tones. It doesn't mean we have to line our rooms with newspaper, get in the foetal position and live on tins: in fact, it means the opposite."
