This IDC study assists readers in enhancing their knowledge and understanding of the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in terms of buying behaviors and purchasing trends. The focus of this particular study is on outsourcing. In addition, this study also provides readers with a spending forecast from 2004 to 2008. "The results of IDC's annual survey, IDC's Continuum Survey, 2005, indicate that outsourcing engagements are slowly gaining popularity among SMBs in the APEJ region since slightly less than half of the respondents had indicated their current/planned employment of third parties. In addition, among these SMBs approximately 29% will start with or had embarked on an outsourcing engagement within the application management component of their IT infrastructures," says Tong-Yen Lau, senior analyst, SMB Research, IDC Asia/Pacific.
