This Webinar presents Forrester's updates to our forecast for business and government purchases of information and communications technologies in Western and Central Europe for 2014 and 2015.
Agenda:
- After two years of little or no growth in European tech markets, demand will start to pick up in 2014, with further expansion in prospect for 2015.
- As in the US, consumer-facing technologies will have the strongest growth, but employee-facing technologies will also do well. Weakest growth will be in infrastructure technologies.
- We examine the detailed outlook for purchases of computer equipment, communications equipment, software, IT services and outsourcing, and telecommunications services in Western and Central Europe in 2014 and 2015.
- We show how the forces of cloud computing, smart computing, and mobility are affecting tech markets in the Europe.
Key takeaways:
- Plan for how to structure your tech budget and project portfolio to keep up with the market and competitors.
- Understand the best opportunities to negotiate discounts from vendors.
