The=20 Bottom Line
IT After The = Bank=20 Bust
Brian Caulfield, Andy Greenberg and Wendy = Tanaka 09.15.08, 6:40 PM ET

So your start-up has cutting-edge technology for the = enterprise? Just=20 be careful that you don't wind up bleeding all over.

As Lehman Brothers' (nyse: LEH=20 - ne= ws=20 - people=20 ) bankruptcy and Merrill Lynch's = (nyse: MER=20 - ne= ws=20 - people=20 ) acquisition by Bank of America (nyse: BAC=20 - ne= ws=20 - people=20 ) sent investors scurrying for safety Monday, technology = vendors=20 ranging from microprocessor company Advanced Micro Devices = (nyse:=20 AMD=20 - ne= ws=20 - people=20 ) to server vendor Sun Microsystems (nasdaq: JAVA=20 - n= ews=20 - people=20 ) began to feel pain.

The result could be a reordering of Silicon Valley that = parallels the=20 shakeup on Wall Street, with big, diversified firms snapping up = smaller=20 players that have made concentrated bets on the sorts of = cutting-edge new=20 technologies that troubled banks began chopping months ago.

"It's a great time to be a company that has a reasonably stable = client=20 base and a big pile of cash," says Roger Kay, an analyst with = Endpoint=20 Technologies Associates.

And a rotten time to be a start-up with a cash-flow problem. = Financial=20 services are the single largest source of revenue for information=20 technology (IT), according to technology market research firm = Forrester=20 Research (nasdaq: FORR=20 - n= ews=20 - people=20 ). Software companies, for instance, generate between 10% to = 30% of=20 their revenues from the financial sector, according to Citigroup = analyst=20 Brent Thill.

Technology giants IBM (nyse: IBM=20 - ne= ws=20 - people=20 ), Hewlett-Packard (nyse: HPQ=20 - ne= ws=20 - people=20 ), Sun and Cisco (nasdaq: CSCO=20 - n= ews=20 - people=20 ) have already shared in some of the banking sector's pain = this=20 year.

That means the tech giants have had plenty of time to prepare = for the=20 worst. A Forrester survey of senior IT managers released last week = showed=20 that 43% of all companies planned to cut their tech spending this = year.=20 The financial industry was the worst hit, with 49% of IT = departments=20 planning to cut their budgets. "The handwriting was on the wall at = the=20 beginning of last year," says Forrester analyst Eileen Carney. "If = there=20 was any cutting to be done, it's probably already happened."

Going forward, the hardest hit companies will likely be those = whose=20 offerings are strongly concentrated in high-performance hardware = or=20 software, rather than nitty-gritty tasks like outsourcing data = centers or=20 security and compliance spending. A Forrester Research report to = be=20 published later this month shows that banks' IT managers plan to = increase=20 their spending on those necessities, even while the demand for = flashy=20 high-performance gear falls.

"When it comes to discretionary purchases of new products, = everything=20 has fallen by the wayside," says Carney. "If it can be duct-taped = or=20 band-aided, it will be."

Those technology companies with strong balance sheets--and = little=20 debt--may soon start doing some bargain-basement shopping for = smaller tech=20 shops. That's what happened after the last downturn. After the = post-Sept.=20 11 market tumble, Cisco steadily bought up a host of smaller = companies,=20 grabbing five in 2002 and another four in 2003. Even though Cisco = may=20 suffer in as the downturn continues--less than 20% of the = company=92s=20 revenue comes from services--CEO John Chambers said earlier this = summer=20 that with $24 billion in cash on his balance sheet, he's shopping = for good=20 buys.

IBM may also escape the meltdown relatively unscathed. The = computing=20 giant has already weathered several quarters with surprisingly = strong=20 earnings, thanks in large part to its focus on services like = managed data=20 centers--which many customers are using so that they can replace = expensive=20 employees--and software as a service, which is seen as a thrifty=20 alternative to traditional software. Services represent 60% of its = revenue.

IBM has also shielded itself with an increased international = focus.=20 About 75% of the company's customers are now outside the U.S., the = company's CFO Mark Loughridge told analysts in an earnings call = last July.=20 The firm's focus on emerging markets, whose financial fortunes are = most=20 shielded from the U.S., is also growing.

By contrast, Sun Microsystems, which has historically aimed its = high-end servers at the financial customers, may feel a fresh = round of=20 pain. Services still represent less than 40% of the company's = revenue.=20 "Someone like Sun would have more exposure than anyone else," says = Crawford Del Prete, an analyst with IDC.

Oracle (nasdaq: ORCL=20 - n= ews=20 - people=20 ) may also not be so well insulated. After a strong fiscal = fourth=20 quarter, Oracle is expected to announce weaker first-quarter = results=20 Thursday. Analysts blame the economic slowdown for slower growth = in new=20 software licenses for the first quarter ended Aug. 31 and expect = the=20 Redwood City, Calif.-based software maker to report first-quarter=20 earnings, excluding charges, of 27 cents per share on revenues of = $5.4=20 billion.

Citigroup's Thill says the financial sector meltdown likely = will=20 negatively impact Oracle's future earnings, but he couldn't say = how much.=20 He estimates that between 15% to 20% of Oracle's revenues come = from=20 financial services companies. "Their ads say they run the top 20 = banks. So=20 they can't say they don't have exposure" to the financial = industry, he=20 says.

Still, Thill says the financial sector meltdown won't shutter = all=20 software spending. Companies still need a hefty collection of = regulatory=20 and compliance software tools. And he echoes Forrester's Carney, = arguing=20 that financial sector IT spending has been slowly adjusting their=20 businesses and earnings expectations.

"Software has had a long heads-up period," Thill says. = "Existing=20 projects are less likely to get cut; net new projects, those are = all=20 delayed."
