This IDC study answers the following questions:
What are IDC's predictions and assumptions related to market forces affecting the systems integration (SI) services market, and what effects will they have on the market forecasts? What are the key buyer and vendor trends influencing the forecast? What is the size of the opportunity for providing SI services in the United States, by region and on a worldwide basis? What effects will developments in this market have on the players in it? What are end users' expectations for spending on SI services in 2005?
"Going forward, the need to tie together disparate applications and systems and to optimize prior investments, all with the goal of improving business processes and maximizing efficiencies, will drive growth. However, the worldwide market will continue to be affected by customer preferences toward all kinds of outsourcing and the shift of work to lower-cost destinations," said Stephanie Torto, program manager for Systems Integration Services at IDC.
