Information management solutions are moving to the center of IT strategies as a way of driving IT and business alignment and delivering real and visible value to the business. And wherever there is a hot growth market in IT, there are plenty of IT consultants, systems integrators, and managed services providers to help architect, plan, implement, and manage the solution. The global information services market will grow from $7.9 billion today to $10.9 billion in 2012, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. Business intelligence and business performance solutions will dominate this spend, although the information strategy segment will see the fastest growth throughout the forecast period.
