IT Executive Tracker — CEE, Q1 2007

Product Type: Market Research Report

Product Code: R104-32514
Description

IDC's IT Quarterly Executive Tracker program for Central and Eastern Europe is a qualitative complement to our PC, computer systems, and printer quarterly tracker products, and range of annual studies. Providing regional managers and market planners with timely and comprehensive insight into market trends, the Executive Tracker is an "IT watch" tool that further enables the interpretation of quarterly quantitative data and trends.

Now expanded to provide an overview of major IT segments in addition to the PC arena, the Executive Tracker is a regional study that provides in-depth information country-by-country on the hardware, software, IT services, Internet, and telecommunications markets.

Our regular research focuses on addressing the following questions:

What were the most important developments in the IT markets of the CEE during the past quarter? What is the state of the IT environment? What is the latest IT spending breakdown by technology? What are the chief drivers and inhibitors of growth in IT market spending? What ongoing market developments are influencing channels and who are the new entrants on the market? What IT contracts and tenders were signed over the past three months? Which vendors were involved? What local mergers and acquisitions or commercial alliances are taking place in the IT arena? How have the main IT vendors in the countries performed, and why?

"As IT penetration rates and usage per sector expand in CEE, the demand for IT increasingly reflects the investment and infrastructure development requirements of specific vertical segments. Modernization of infrastructure continues apace, especially in cash-rich verticals like banking and telecommunications and in rapidly developing verticals like the government sector and manufacturing. And while the focus is shifting from hardware to software and services in the more developed verticals, there is still room for both, and integrated vendors can use their hardware deals to generate leads for application and services contracts." - Steven Frantzen, Managing Director and Group Vice-President, IDC CEMA
