Overview

sector.
Scope
- This survey consists of 35 questions - 15 core questions and 4 sets of 5

publishing.

Europe (25% of sample each).
Report Highlights
IT budgets remain buoyant across the European media sector, with 94% of
budgets either remaining static or increasing in 2005. As a result,
Datamonitor suggests that the media sector remains an attractive target for
technology vendors, with increasing networking a storage demands acting to
boost demand for equipment and related services.
European media companies are ramping up their investment in both core
infrastructure technology and media-specific solutions in order to meet key
challenges such as supporting the deployment of new services, increasing
efficiency and improving customer satisfaction.
