and now…
think about that…
New revenue sources will come from
today’s innovation.
Do you want to be the first?
firstly…
Are good times really “good times” for
technology Start-Up’s ?
Not Often, when money flows
customers prefer dealing with huge
companies, important brands, in the
same way people choose to buy a
Mercedes or BMW ☺
but…
Then, are “crisis times” good for start-
up’s ?It should be but it does not happen.
Tight budgets and saving costs reduces the
opportunity of selling innovation, and the
pessimistically “state” makes people forget new
upturn will come and innovation will help to
become more competitive.

companies innovating? Yes, of course, but with huge
costs, and focused in core
business (CRM, ERP, telecom
infrastructure, etc)…

final solutions for customers
and start-up’s?…What are doing tech
start-up’s? INNOVATING with lighter cost
structure and focused in
solutions to improve customer
revenues or save their costs.
