Canadian Systems Infrastructure Service Provisioning (SISP) Forecast Update, 2004-2008Product Type: Market Research ReportPublished by: IDC Published: October 2004 Product Code: R104-17046 Description
The market conditions leading Canadian companies to outsource various aspects of information technology are as strong in the latter half of 2004 as they were earlier this year. The situation is also true in the emerging SISP market, even though IDC believes, in some cases, decisions that can lead to SISP spending are being delayed as companies postpone decisions to refresh systems and network infrastructure. Overall, IDC Canada believes its current market size estimates and forecasts for the SISP market is realistic and do not require revisions at this time. "Emerging service offerings, like SISP services, often are challenged to find early adopters in uncertain market environments similar to today's environment. However, the strong value proposition of standardized, service-fee price offerings from SISPs promise spending annual growth in the range of 9% until 2008." Jason Bremner, director, outsourcing services. Table of Contents
