So far, my small business, which if my self and two managers, i have seen my customer’s make changes, the only industry that scaled down was the oil and gas, the aggregates have actually picked up, since we process that data, it will be an increase over the next two months.
One of My managers, who has a side business selling dog bandannas that she makes, lost it’s 100-200 a month income. It dropped to just 20 bucks. Fortunately, i needed to find someone who could index for us online because the title industry hasn’t slowed down, it is increasing too, so now she can sleep because because i am paying her for two job’s. At a time like this, it helps when your businesses business is actually helping other businesses eliminate the part that is paper in their business in any area they need it. We had clouds in our closets back in the 90’s with customers that had dedicated dual ISDN line’s to access the retrieval system we built for them using MySql and Java/SOAP.
Times sure have changed, and i agree, if this exercise destroys a business, why save it, shouldn’t a new form of that business that would survive such an exercise takes its rightful place for the better of our society?
