Looking forward to the year ahead, we anticipate that 2012 will bring macroeconomic challenges to the technology sector, driving increased competition as the sector continues to flatten. Our trends this year focus on companies who bring truly differentiated offerings to market and who will be rewarded by the potential for long term margin defensibility.
