Abstract
This Manufacturing Insights update provides our best estimates of the worldwide
auto manufacturing revenue of the top 50 IT vendors in CY04. This update
provides one measurement of a vendor's strength in or reliance on the auto
manufacturing industry. Although this document is intended to provide a macro
view of IT vendor revenue in auto manufacturing, we recognize the need for more
granular segmentations. As such, we will continue to extend our research in
this area and can develop specific requests on a custom basis. Please note that
because this document focuses on the top 50 vendors across all industries and
because the estimates are worldwide, it should not be compared with U.S.
