"Expansion of the Czech EAS market slowed in 2006, due in part to the elections hitting public sector spending and the simple fact that the market is maturing. While the market's growth spurt is over, the forecast is stable. Indeed, growth will be modest but steady growth, with a greater down-market shift and solid demand for extended functionalities, as existing customers seek to maximize ROI." – Mark Child, Research Analyst, IDC CEMA
