Abstract
After the systems integration market' s fast growth stage, which is connected to
China' s IT infrastructure development in the past several years, some systems
integrators (SIs) quit this market while some survived the furious market
competition due to their preponderant competitiveness in special industries and
solution fields. Based on a deep understanding of customers' requirements,
China' s local SIs tend to get more power in cooperation with multinational
product vendors. Big product vendors began to pay more attention to local SIs
and to try to extend their market shares by cooperating with other companies.
Nowadays, we can see more advanced local SIs enter into or achieve great
success in the midrange and high-end markets, leading to fiercer competition.
In the IT market, whoever has the ability to catch opportunities gets
competitive advantages. At present, China has a better IT construction
environment and is undergoing a quick development stage. Due to
telecommunications improvements such as the introduction of 3G, more foreign
capital inflow and finance industry development as well as government
reorganization are challenging SIs to move to the next stage. "SIs in China' s
IT service market will increasingly play a more important role, particularly
those with deep industry experience and client resources," says Ting Yang,
senior analyst, IDC China. "Due to the China IT service market' s fast growth,
some main industries have been transformed and IT vendors now regard channels
as important parts of their strategies as all of them will create more market
expansion opportunities for SIs," he further adds.
In this study, IDC showcased the shining stars in different industries or
solution markets. IDC thinks that advanced local SIs such as those profiled
here will be the most important accelerants in the China IT market.
