Is MicroStategy BI implementaion recession proof

This question I had all the time I've been working on MicroStrategy, but with an exception that I had not seen recession.

Prima facie, the answer is Big NO. Most of my friends, who are working on different clients in varied domain, are not working on any important projects or not working at all (including me). All of a sudden the clients have deferred further implementation of MicroStrategy project(s). Around 14 friends of mine have changed job in last 6 months and none of them is actually working on a MicroStrategy project, so one can easily imagine the situation in developed countries, mainly USA.

TARP is yet to come into picture. Scene is going to be same for next 2 months, the time taken for TARP to show effect.

This time clients are simply trying to optimize the current BI not trying any new BI implementation. Few MicroStrategy or other core BI vendors are moving/thing to Open source BI.

MicroStrategy commands a loyal customer base but repeat business or sale of Orion will be something hard to see in near future.
