Piotr, things can change a lot in 10 years, but this may be a bit much...time will tell if they're right: "Soon technology spending will be seen as one of the handful of essential tools chief executives use in order to drive revenue and profit growth, as well transforming the very way a company and its investors track the firm's finances, it said. Within five years, for example, companies will begin to report quarterly earnings before the end of each quarter, Gartner predicted. By 2010, stock trading will not be based on Wall Street's ritual demand that a company meet financial analyst earnings estimates, but rather on the company's ability to close its books and announce earnings per share on a daily basis."
