Abstract
This IDC study incorporates the latest assumptions about the economic and
technological factors influencing the Australia IT services market. The IT
services space in Australia is experiencing a range of market dynamics
including maturing sourcing strategies, broadening delivery models, a more
diverse mix of competitors, and a plethora of constantly evolving technologies.
These are significantly altering the landscape for market participants,
resulting in the current environment of rapidly evolving service portfolios,
delivery models, and go-to-market strategies.
"The outlook for both the broader Australia economy and the IT services market
remains buoyant. End-user organisations today are addressing a range of
business issues that are expected to underpin the IT services market' s growth
over the five-year forecast period. These issues include maintaining solid
growth in the midterm, trimming operational costs, addressing compliance and
governance requirements, and achieving high productivity in this currently
constrained labour market. Executives are turning to IT services firms to
assist them with these and a range of other issues including Green IT, service
oriented architecture (SOA) and Web services, selective sourcing including
offshoring, and mobility services," says Margaret Banaghan, research manager,
IT Services, IDC Australia.
