1. Project Based Solutions - The word on the street is that there will be some more acquisitions in the project based solutions space. This market is going through consolidation and the acquisition of OpenAir by NetSuite was just the beginning.
2. Heatlhcare Information Systems are all the buzz. The VC’s I’m talking to hint that a big name like a McKesson, Cerner, Epic, or Medi-tech may make the move or be the target.
