Abstract
This annual strategy guide presents a comprehensive view of the IT trends,
challenges, and opportunities that will shape the U.S. utility industry in
2008. From reporting on the general health of the industry, zeroing in on the
fastest-growing geographic segments and top technology buyers, to key IT budget
and industry metrics, this guide gives utility companies and IT vendors serving
the utility industry a bird' s-eye view of everything they need to know to build
a go-to-market plan for the coming year. With its unique blend of key
historical data and top predictions for 2008, this document is an essential
tool for sales territory planning, resource allocation, and vertical market
strategy refinement.
"The utility industry is abuzz today with many opportunities that can benefit
from investing in IT. There is growing excitement about technologies such as
smart metering, intelligent grid, and renewable energy, but a look at utility
IT spending still shows a difference between the buzz and reality. Growth in
utility IT spending will be a modest 5.9%." - Rick Nicholson, research vice
president, Energy Insights
