This study presents IDC Canada's forecast for the Canadian Information, Communications and Technology (ICT) market for 2006 to 2010. All three major IT markets are covered (hardware, software and IT services) as well as the top line telecommunications services forecast. In addition, the key segments within the IT hardware, software and services sectors are examined in greater detail.

"Given the strong economic environment in Canada, now is the time for Canadian organizations of all sizes to invest in ICT to create sustainable business advantage, safeguard against future uncertainty, and enable their growth strategies " says Vito Mabrucco, Managing Director of IDC Canada. "Companies that miss this opportunity for investment will be left behind as domestic and global competition continue to rise and even more so if the market or economic climate loses any momentum."
