Increase in Mergers and Acquisitions “This past year we saw an increase in attention surrounding issues such as IT department downsizing, increased usage of mobile email, spam and malware, and complete solutions over point products. Based on what I’ve seen and heard from industry experts, one prediction I have is that in the corporate world, especially in financial services and technology sectors, the number of mergers and acquisitions will increase, creating a market for applications (not point products) that aid in combining and transitioning multiple IT infrastructures into one.” —Sendmail President and CEO Donald J. Massaro Yes You Can: 2009 is the Year of Change “In 2009, businesses need to challenge themselves to be better than they were the year before. It’s only going to get tougher out there, so businesses need to become leaders in online privacy, paving best practices to protect the customers they do have, and put measures in place to attract new ones.” —TRUSTe Executive Director Fran Maier Cut Costs In 2009 every business will be taking a hard look at where they can cut costs. With more hosted services, companies can securely extend their network into the cloud and take full advantage of the dynamic nature of technology. Hosted Microsoft Exchange is a good example. Businesses no longer have to buy, upgrade, and maintain hardware and software; they can cut costs while enjoying the additional benefits of working with a single vendor and being able to focus IT resources on core business needs. —XO Concentric President Craig Collins FOR YOUR REFERENCE Axway Inc./Tumbleweed Communications www.tumbleweed.com Barracuda Networks www.barracudanetworks.com Center for Democracy & Technology www.cdt.org Cisco www.cisco.com Dell Inc.
