Positive Trends
The DOJ proposes Google breakup in latest tech antitrust action
- In August, Google was found guilty of operating as a monopoly and engaging in anti-competitive practices through the operation of its search engine business.
- In response to this ruling the Department of Justice (DOJ) has stated it will seek a breakup of Google’s business segments, among other similarly harsh penalties. While the actual penalty Google receives must be approved by the judge, the DOJ’s proposed penalties signal a zero-tolerance policy toward tech monopolies.
- During the last few years, the Federal government has significantly increased its enforcement actions against major technology companies in an effort to contest the high level of market share concentration in this sector.
- These actions include high-profile anti-trust lawsuits against Amazon, Apple, and Meta, in addition to the case against Google. Consequently, the results of these lawsuits could significantly affect the structure of a wide range of tech markets.

Procurement Management KPIs for the Project Management Software Market
Managing vendor performance throughout the contract period is easier when tracking specific key performance indicators (KPIs). For example, buyers should monitor Average Resolution Time and Current Ratio (Assets/Liabilities). Buyers may experience better performance throughout their contracts if they establish service level agreements (SLAs) based on Uptime and other factors.
| KPI | Level of Importance (1-5) | Measurements | Key Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Resolution Time |
|
Total resolution time Number of resolved tickets |
The average resolution time represents the average amount of time it takes to resolve a support ticket. Due to the nature of software, buyers should enter into a relationship with a vendor that handles support tickets quickly to minimize downtime. |
| Current Ratio (Assets/Liabilities) |
|
Current assets Current liabilities |
The current ratio represents a company’s liquidity. The current ratio can be used to determine a company’s ability to pay its short-term obligations. Due to the critical nature of project management software, buyers don't want to be procuring services from a supplier that may shut down services due to business closure. |
