ABSTRACT
Enterprise software is getting crushed on every front, from engineering to pricing to marketing. Where can the industry look to expand? Venture capitalists are betting three areas will see growth in the near future: search-for corporations and consumers-assetmanagement tools for business, and support for open-source services.

SOFTWARE METRICS

STARTUPS TO WATCH
