Interesting business opportunities but adoption of new technology is slow

Business Outlook

Pros

Business opportunity appears interesting as oDesk is market leader. oDesk believes in work from home, and that is a big plus for me. Many of my co-workers work effectively from remote locations.

Cons

Lots of old technology in use, and people are reluctant to implement change.
