I guess it's time for some real changes in the market. Let's just hope that it doesn't become a never-ending story of continuous struggle, reorganisations, new strategic focus, new alliances, etc. Of course I feel for the people at C1, but overall it'd be best if the plug is pulled quickly. Ultimately, this will cut down the continuous noise and restore confidence. Remaining vendors will see their revenues increase in a slowly but inevitably growing market. As long as they use this revenue to grow their investments in product development and understanding of their customers' needs, the B2B community will benefit from the demise of C1, however painful...
