Well, compliance won’t go away just because of a recession. I recently watched an interview with Dr. Michael Lynch of Autonomy (the UK’s equivalent of Bill Gates) in which he was asked about the effects of the current economic climate on IT. His response was that one of the safest areas was that of compliance because management had a legal responsibility and could be held personally responsible in some cases; and there was nothing more likely to motivate budget approval than personal risk.
That said, things are tight for everyone at the moment and no one can afford to be cavalier with budgets. Our products are priced with the current climate in mind; however the prices do not reflect on the power or functionality of the products. The reality is that they are based on genuinely unique technology which enables them to out perform many an industry name.
