The numbers are huge. The numbers are subject to broad variation. Market growth in the vendor segments, for example, is completely driven by organizational willingness to invest and/or spend outside the established internal political structure. One look at Exult's revenue base ($480M) suggests that there are an awful lot of billions flowing through our universe.

A number of the questions we've been addressing recently have a direct bearing on any attempt to measure the size of our marketplace:

• Are the ERP providers going to emerge with meaningful sales efforts or will they continue to stall things?
• Will continued job growth flatness produce Recruitment advertising price increases (as it always has in the newspaper industry)?
• Will modularized software actually decrease costs or will it simply spread their expense into what is currently seen as overhead?
• Do "once-outsourced" functions cost more to execute when they return to the company?
• Is the average installation cost falling or rising in the ATS market?

In addition, we'll be developing a number of key scenarios for job growth, industry maturation and overall economic climate.

Your input, as always, is welcome.
