The Big Three
In this situation the innovation rate of both software development technologies, as the interest in creating a sustainable competitive advantage by using ICT is not very well. That automatically means that there is no room to do large outsourcing projects anymore, even though India tries to evolve as the most cost efficient code programming country they simply don’t get enough orders to keep investing in this. Also the embedded market gets a tough time, only standard systems are used here and the declining interest reduce number sales. That automatically means that the large companies who offer standard software packages and off course Microsoft with Windows are celebrating their golden age, with profits never seen so high. For newcomers it’s almost impossible to establish, so the enthusiasm for ICT lowers even more. The open source community is only partly active, with some interesting projects going on, but this is almost completely amateurism driven, companies don’t see any future in new applications so are not willing to invest much in open source.
2005
The numbers of investments in ICT are going down. The economy is still not working very well; customers are more selective when spending money, after years of promising results in the market for wireless devices and other electronic gadgets the sales stagnates.
