Software: VARs Turn Pessimistic

None of the 20 software categories included in the index showed an increase in sales expectations in the third quarter.

Categories such as networking software, data warehousing, storage management software, supply chain management, Linux and application integration showed the largest declines.

Despite the declines, the overall level of software sales expectations remains highest in categories where services also play a strong role.

These include, for example, managed services, voice over IP and Web services, which were the top three categories in terms of third quarter sales expectations. Managed services and voice over IP topped the sales expectations list in the second quarter as well.
