At recent article from ProjectsatWork.com states that:
“…a snapshot of evolution in the world of project portfolio management suggests recession or not, companies are still eager to step back and try to do things faster, better and smarter.”
Well, duh.  The article contends that there's a strong interest in Project Portfolio Management tools by citing a recent study by Forrester Research:
“A recent Forrester Research study has found that among the 20,000 client inquiries that came across analysts’ desks for much of 2008, there remained strong interest in learning the latest trends around program management offices — 159 were specific to PMOs — with nearly half, 47 percent, of those wanting to know more about project portfolio management tools.” (Emphasis added)
47% of 159 inquiries equals 75 (and that's rounding up) - .00375 or .375% of the 20,000 client inquiries. This represents a “strong interest?”
