vs. Goliath: Finance Vertical - SMB vs. Enterprise
IT Trends and Expenditures in the US |
 |
This report takes
a deep dive look at the IT trends and expenditures
in SMB finance firms, versus Enterprise finance
firms. SMB includes small and medium-sized
businesses. It is important to understand
the key differences and needs of those smaller
financial firms compared to the large financial
institutions.
Financial firms in the US have remained
in a strong position among the business verticals
in this volatile and uncertain economy, and
have also shown significant strength in IT
investments. In fact, these firms spent an
estimated $27 billion on IT products and services
in 2004, and this is expected to reach $31
billion by 2008. Interestingly, the small
and medium businesses in the financial industry
are expected to see slightly higher IT investment
growth compared to the enterprise financial
firms throughout the forecast period.
