Product Code: R149-338Description Report: U.K. Medium Business Market Forecast
Country: U.K.
The projections in this study are based on a forecast model that blends proprietary AMI-Partners 2004-2005 research with public econometric data. The model incorporates current and historic results of AMI's end-user surveys, along with supply-side data and secondary research pertaining to the medium business market. This forecast provides broad coverage across key areas of AMI's IT field research.
AMI-Partners produces forecasts in the first quarter of each year that cover the previous calendar year as well as five years ahead. This current forecast encompasses the period from 2004 to 2009 and is provided in a flexible, easy-to-use pivot-table format that enables users to view the data by whatever categories are required. AMI-Partners' forecasts are driven by data collected from a nationally projectable sample of end-user firms in AMI's annual survey instruments. Probes include current adoption/penetration of forecasted technologies, current and projected spending levels, and the presence of key "growth indicator" responses throughout the survey.
AMI applies weighting and proprietary algorithms to its primary data—controlling growth factors, statistical balance, and sample confidence. Macro-economic government data such as GDP and interest rate factors are considered, as well as relevant supply-side information. AMI-Partners' forecasts make use of the broadest possible range of primary and significant secondary source materials available.
IT forecast categories and sub-categories are shown below, arranged by number of businesses and by spending. The forecast provides a "firms pivot" and a "spending pivot." Also included in the forecast are IT category definitions and listings of economic indicators with explanations of how these are used by AMI.Table of Contents - Number of Businesses
