Great post Dennis and not just because I'm in it :-)
You bought up some very valid points, in a week where a friend bought a 50k motorcar for 20k this post drills home that we are in a recession but tightening of the belts and a little bit of clever accounting can easily see us out of it.

Last week here we sat down for a day and reviewed every single expenditure in the previous month.
result €2500 savings next month

keep up the bloody great work.

yeah. totally. Three things to add:
(1) Pat Phelan, please post both your review process and the items that you hit for cost reduction :)

(2) Innovation often performs well under conditions of restraint. Imposing some themes works well here (i.e. Reduce Features, Pre-emptive, Ready to Go etc.) I am sure that just putting the phrase "how could we do better web-demo's would be a huge benefit for everyone;

(3) Bald Plug: www.VoiceSage.com will bring in your outstanding cash twice as fast just through simple SaaS based messaging service. See the biggest online retailers get this http://www.retail-week.com/News/2008/07/otto_cu... Most companies have debtors and debtor days, yet most companies leave this money "out there" when there is no need to do so. As an afterthought, it also actually forces you to look at "who is a good customer", and what does that mean.
