The directors and managers of the small " medium technology companies are today forever simply trying to cling to survival, at least for the most part. All we seem to hear about it is how profits and sales are dwindling and that people are having to cut back on everything, and of course, the media jump straight in there to exacerbate the uncertainty and shove it in everyone's faces.
In an economic downturn such as this one, many companies will fall behind and many will fail, but there are always those that beat the odds and come out triumphant.
The companies who will survive and thrive in the economic downturn are the ones that maintain a positive attitude and do not allow themselves to become absorbed in all the medias negativity.
There are opportunities to be had in a recession, it is not completely negative. From what was clearly apparent in the recession of 1991, those business who continue to effectively market themselves and advertise their business will be the ones that come out on top for the following years.

The Entrepreneurs Manifesto: - Britain currently faces one of its toughest tasks in many years. It has to produce enough wealth to provide the government with enough money to pay off their large recessionary debt.
Technology businesses on the whole are not differentiated by their software, solutions or any type of product in the consumers mind, but by their people and how competent, helpful and valuable they deem those people to be.
In the minds of the consumer, most technology companies are almost grouped together as they tend to release similar products. Once one company has made the technological advancement, it wont be long before they are all selling it. For this reason, value for the customer lies not in what the product does, because they could get a similar product from many different places, but in the value you can offer them outside the inherent features of the product.
