"The Czech EAS market slowdown continued in 2007, as the approaching saturation
in the enterprise sector stifled the large project market and affluent sectors
such as banking, telecoms, and central government directed investment funds
elsewhere. The growth prospects for 2008 and beyond are more positive than the
last couple of years, but vendors will have to start racking up the mid-market
implementations to maintain their revenue streams; and other than the
occasional large-project spike, slow and steady growth will be the standard for
most vendors for most of the time." - Mark Child, Research Analyst, IDC CEMA.
