Abstract
This IDC study presents a view of the Australia resources sector and provides a
map of where short- and long-term opportunities can be found from an
information and communication technology (ICT) perspective. Included herein is
an ICT spending forecast from 2007 to 2011. Overall, growth will be determined
by the interaction of a number of key market factors. IDC explores these
factors and provides guidance for players in a crowded market.
"The most important business drivers for ICT investments within the Australia
resources sector include IT systems rationalisation, better asset management,
and workforce management," says Phillip Allen, research manager, Vertical
Markets Research, IDC Australia.
