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?

"While the IT markets of the CEE EU member states remain relatively dynamic, vendors must consider the changes as one moves East and to some degree south across the map. For instance, while hardware reigns in terms of spending, it does not reign supreme nor with equal power, and vendors need to adjust rollout strategies to match the different country markets ? paying particular attention to issues of price sensitivity the further East one travels." ? Steven Frantzen, Managing Director and Group Vice-President, IDC CEMA
