PGP questions

Hi,

I am trying to get my company to upgrade to PGP 9, but he is voicing concern 
that PGP has gone through so many management changes, that is reluctant to 
spend $$$ on PGP.
Can anyone speculate on what the future holds for PGP Corp?  Is there a 
future for them?
Are there any viable alternative products to PGP?


Thanks,

Gary
