vs. Goliath: Healthcare Vertical - SMB vs.
Enterprise IT Trends and Expenditures in the
US |
 |
This report takes
a deep dive look into the healthcare vertical
differences and similarities in the SMB vs.
Enterprise healthcare IT trends and expenditures.
SMB includes the small and medium healthcare
businesses, or those healthcare organizations
with under 1000 employees. Enterprise includes
those healthcare organizations with over 1000
employees. IT segments include applications,
computer hardware, network hardware, telecom
services & equipment, IT personnel, and outsourcing/hosted
services.
When evaluating the small versus large
healthcare organizations in the U.S., there
are quite a few differences and even some
similarities. The small and medium healthcare
organizations are expected to see slightly
greater increases in spending on IT than the
larger healthcare organizations. In 2004,
the SMB healthcare end-users spent $21 billion
on IT services and equipment, while the enterprise
healthcare end-users spent an estimated $27
billion. This equates to an estimated $6 billion
difference in spending. By 2008, this gap
is expected to decrease by $1 billion, where
the SMB healthcare market will spend roughly
$27 billion on IT services and equipment.
