Hello, my name is Ryan Blakely and I'm the Vice President of Research at the Corum Group.  In my 9+ years with the firm, I have had the opportunity to work on hundreds of engagements and in the process meet and review thousands of technology companies throughout the world.  During this time, I have seen the highs and lows of the overall market - times where any deal seemed viable, and times where most deals were questionable.  As market conditions change and the technology arena evolves, staying in tune with the software sector remains a constant for me and my team.
