There are still many other factors that support the rising property prices. But, it is hard to guess when the price goes up and up to how big the increase. Instead of wondering pairs better with a long-term targets follow the development of national economy.

Currently, the crisis was engulfing Europe and the United States (U.S.), but these external factors will not affect much on the economy of developing countries. Thus, property prices will not fall upon this sentiment.

Not the job of Financial Management for IT Services but the Service Level Management to negotiate with clients and develop the service catalog. However, it is recommended that, in economics, its activity is supervised by the Financial Management.

This requires that there is fluid communication between the two processes structured properly.

On the one hand, the Service Level Management must provide information on Financial Management:

The type of services demanded by customers.
Contracted SLAs.
Support contracts (UCs) in force.
Market Trends and Service Improvement Plans (SIP).
While the Financial Management must provide information about:

The actual costs of services.
Estimated cost.
Deviations in the estimates of costs compared to actual expenditures.
