Abstract
Introduction
Datamonitor' s Technology Trends survey of 500 IT decision makers, in H1 2007,
shows how the current penetration levels of eight enterprise technologies
vary. An analysis of the results indicates which of the technology areas are
likely to have the most ' greenfield' (first time) and ' brownfield' (repeat)
investments over the next two years.
Scope
Provides an overview of current market penetration for eight core enterprise
technology areas. Analyses which solutions will be receiving the most
investments both in the short and medium term. Discovers which technologies
enterprises are prioritizing for their largest IT project in 2007 and gives an
idea of how much they will be investing. Reviews enterprises' current
outsourcing and purchasing preferences by technology.
Highlights
The penetration for all eight enterprise technologies is set to increase over
the next two years. However, the number of greenfield investments in security
and enterprise applications appears to be slowing down, indicating that these
two markets are close to saturation. Looking at investment opportunities from
a short-term and medium-term perspective, it is interesting to note that the
number of investments planned will decrease for the high priority, high
penetration level technologies and increase for the two technologies with the
lowest penetration, mobility and BI. Enterprise applications and security, the
two highest penetrated technologies, are also the most likely to be
outsourced. Although outsourcing is not a method which appeals to all
enterprises, there appears to be a relatively high level of interest in
outsourcing some of the core technologies, particularly in the next 6-24
months timeframe.
