• SaaS for all: Software as a service will reduce IT expenditures and overhead and offer faster deployment. Large & small companies will move in this direction to host their business analytics software.
• Targeted risk taking: Companies should be analyzing customers and providing additional and extended credit terms to assist them while they are ‘down.’ Do that, and they will be loyal customers when they are back‘up.
