Companies concerned about possible recession in 2008 would be well advised to leverage MSP and SaaS models where they can realize business process and financial benefits. The threat of a downturn should spark this activity. Unfortunately, businesses don't always behave like investors and may fear disrupting their own inertia--the "I won't get in trouble for doing nothing" mentality. It is going to take commitment from key people who are willing to take calculated risks. Service Providers should seize this opportunity to elevate these discussions to their customers' boardrooms.
