Upswing in the Project Management industry

The Project Management industry seems to be in an upswing these days. Lots of M & A activities in the last 18 months. The PMI thing seems to be getting more and more mainstream. I think there is a trend happening here and it has everything to do with technology. With collaboration technology maturing (or getting better) project portfolio management ROI is starting to show. Companies can now move from the project management world to that of project portfolio management. Unfortunately the PPM tools are still out of reach for many small and medium enterprises.

I wish implementing a PPM tool was not a daunting project in itself.
