“Investment in information technology can be an investment in time or in money,” Ty Kicklighter tells DFMAR. “During a downturn, time is more available than money.

That positions your firm to be more efficient, and IT is all about efficiency. Then when things turn around, you’ll be in much better shape than before.”
