Abstract
This IDC study focuses on the network consulting and integration (C&I) market
in Australia. It provides an overview of the current state of play of network
consulting and integration services (NCIS) in Australia, discussing key trends,
providing a five-year forecast with detailed forecast assumptions, and leaves
the reader with a set of key recommendations.
"The role of the CIO continues to expand as technology innovations impact
broader ranges of business functions. Innovations around unified communications
(UC) are underpinning network-enabled business processes, collaboration, and
communications across the global enterprise. Whilst cost savings and return on
investment (ROI) remain key areas of focus for CIOs today, business enablement
through technology is an increasing priority in this globally connected,
competitive marketplace that is driving business process out over the network.
This myriad of new developments is underpinning the growing demand for NCIS in
Australia today," says Margaret Banaghan, Research Manager, IT Services, IDC
Australia.
