| The "Industry" Effect: IT Trends and Expenditures
in the U.S. Government |
 |
This study offers both broad and detailed analysis
on the government IT market. Pertinent data and analysis includes current and
forecasted government IT spending, buying channels, growth opportunities and trends.
IT segments include applications, telecom, computer hardware, network hardware,
and outsourcing/hosted services. Other relative information, such as IT spending
priorities and critical business problems, are included in this study based on
recent survey data compiled from government IT decision-makers.
The government vertical is one of the fastest growing and largely targeted
vertical markets in the IT industry. Trends in emergency communications, homeland
security, warfare, and intergovernmental communications are all contributing to
the growth in IT spending, especially around applications and telephony. Vendors
and service providers need to be aware of the primary issues facing the government
IT decision-makers, and this study will introduce you to the major trends, spending
opportunities, and critical data in the government vertical. |
