In-Stat Group expects mid-sized companies to replace many
desktop PCs with laptops, a reflection of the more mobile
nature of workers. In-Stat also expects middle market
firms to start making major investments in collaborative
and Internet-enabling applications. Facilitating collaboration
across dispersed groups and using the Web to better reach
and serve customers, as well as cutting costs are two
top priorities for mid-sized firms. Mid-sized businesses
are investing heavily in computer hardware, particularly
client hardware and server hardware. The emerging application
service provider industry may affect these firms' demand
for server hardware. However, effects won't be visible
until late in 2000.
