Abstract
This IDC study presents the IT-services industry in 2007 and forecasts
expenditure on IT services through 2012. The study contains market size, vendor
market shares, and forecasts for thirteen foundation market categories.
The study ranks the top IT services providers by their 2007 revenues and
includes detailed profiles of their IT-services portfolios for the top ten,
their presence in individual vertical markets, and their largest contracts. The
top services providers for each of IDC' s foundation-market categories are also
provided.
The study answers the following questions:
- What are IDC' s predictions for spending on IT services, what are the assumptions for forecast numbers, and what impact will these have on the market forecasts?
- What are the new trends in IT services delivery, such as outsourcing and business services?
- Who are the market leaders based on services revenue, and what are their strengths, weaknesses, and strategies for the future?
"IT services spending has again exhibited a record by approaching 10%
year-on-year growth in local currency. The question remains as to how long this
trend and tempo of ITS spending can continue. On balance, IDC believes that the
current rate of growth will likely continue for another year, will slow a
little in the interim period, and will then pick up again toward the end of the
forecast period." - Vladimir Kroa, Research Director, IDC CEMA
