Vendors need to make an effort to come up with new approaches and new concepts of dealing with existing clients and winning new ones. Thinking laterally, differently, unconventionally, from a fresh perspective will definitely pay off, even if it means taking some risks." – Senior Analyst Ewa Zborowska, IDC Poland.
