Exhibitors were generally upbeat about the amount of sales orders taken for their software, while customers were focused on reviewing a select number of potential accounting and business process products and then making a selection.

Expectations have been raised that the Autumn Softworld show, held in Birmingham, will also be another lively affair, especially as the deadline for IAS will then be just a few months away.
