Research: SMBs Will Bounce Back From Recession Faster

A new report from Forrester Research (FORR) says tech-minded SMBs could be the first to successfully emerge from the recession, so telecom service providers better be ready to meet their needs.

The report, called “A New SMB Market Phoenix Is Rising,” looks back at the history of SMBs and how they bounce back more quickly than larger businesses do from economic downturns. It also says those that are most successful in their recovery will be led by tech-savvy people.

In turn, vendors who reach these SMBs the fastest and most effectively will emerge from the recession quicker than others, according to the report.
