The downturn is actually a great time to review processes, automate and attain better efficiencies. And what better way than using open source and on demand- as budgets are tightened the need to improve still remains if not increases.

The cost effectiveness and flexibility of open source software (it's generally cheaper if not free and easier to customise), coupled with pay-as-you-go subscriptions (rather than a major capital outlay all at once) makes it a far more attractive proposition for the tight IT budget.
