The economy, with two recessions in 10 years, has changed the way IT managers look at technology investments. Pitney Bowes Business Insight president Mike Hickey provides a frank assessment of how his company evaluated the opportunity for cloud computing. He explains why he has reoriented his company’s business model to adapt to this new environment, what software he will offer as a service and how he must find a way to do it quickly.
