Software Business on the Raise in Cleveland

"The software business is picking up regionally across the country", as noted per CEO of White Peak's Cleveland database developers partner firm, which has seen software development and consulting requests easily double during the past 3 months in the Cleveland, Ohio region. Requests have been pouring in from small, mid, and large firms alike. The most sought after technology skills have been Access, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and 2005, and .NET recently.

I would really like to hear what consultants from other areas of the country are experiencing to see if this is a localized thing, or if it is rather USA-wide. Could help knowing this when marketing and setting rates, etc.

This was the topic at last month's ICCA NYC Metro meeting. Well, the job market was the topic but it is also an indication of the market for software companies building custom software. Unfortunately I wasn't able to make the meeting.

SkillProof.com (http://www.skillproof.com/) has some interesting information about this. SkillProof.com's president Henning Seip was the speaker at last month's meeting.
