This teleconference addresses Forrester's quarterly update of the global IT purchases outlook for 2011 and 2012, with our latest data and forecasts for the US as well as other regional markets.
Agenda:
- US and European political events are worsening an already weak economic outlook, reducing, but not killing, tech market growth.
- The US IT market will still grow by around 7% in 2011, but watch out for slower growth in 2012. We address the outlook for purchases of computer equipment, communications equipment, software, IT services and outsourcing, and telecommunications services in the US.
- The tech market outlook for Europe, Canada and Latin America, Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific: Weak growth in Europe and slowing growth in other countries mean that the global tech market will slow in late 2011 and 2012, but a weak dollar means dollar-denominated growth will still be good.
- The tech innovation and growth cycle based on cloud computing and Smart Computing means that the tech market will still grow faster than slowing economies.
