Abstract
This IDC study provides a detailed overview of IT spending
trends and forecasts for 17 vertical markets (or sectors) and
10 product and service categories in Croatia. The study features
overviews of key industry developments, industry challenges, and vertical-specific IT
drivers and trends, and includes tables detailing IT spending by
vertical market for each product and service type for the
20082013 period. Analysis is based on continuous research, the monitoring
of users' IT spending and emerging purchasing patterns, and supply-
and demand-side research.
"The financial crisis, with the shrinking demand and
increased financial risk it entails, has created a tougher business
environment. It is therefore important for vendors to deepen their
vertical expertise; end users are increasingly becoming aware of the
limitations of general-purpose IT solutions. Demand for highly customized enterprise
applications that support the business processes of end users' specific
industries will grow, as end users will increasingly look for
solutions that enable cost cutting and offer productivity enhancements within
their specific businesses." Senior Research Analyst Nikolina Jurisic, IDC
