Bargain Hunting

by Paula Santonocito

If you've been shopping lately, you know there are incredible deals out there. Whether you're in the market for clothing, a car or a house, chances are you've been pleasantly surprised by low prices.

Back in January, TMT Talk pointed out that these deals extend to talent management technology products and services, and the trend toward business discounts has continued.

The Wall Street Journal (subscription required) reports how the recession has smart companies taking advantage of the chance to buy all kinds of products and services at a savings.

In my role as AIRS News editor, I see companies capitalizing on the environment in other ways as well. With regard to mergers and acquisitions, companies are striking deals, whether for entire organizations or business units, at bargain-basement rates.

If you're an organization looking to purchase talent management technology products and services, now is the time to get a great rate.

If you're a provider of products or services, now could be the ideal time to strike a partnership arrangement or join forces with another organization.

When the economy recovers, and it will, these bargains will be history.
