The 2014 To 2015 US Tech Market Outlook — Solid Growth, Led By Consumer-Facing Technologies

This Webinar presents Forrester's updates to our forecast for business and government purchases of technology goods, services, and staff in the US for 2014 and 2015.

Agenda:

• A better US economy will lead to tech market growth of 5.7% in 2014 and 6.6% in 2015.
• Consumer-facing technologies will have the strongest growth, but employee-facing technologies will also do well. Weakest growth will be in infrastructure technologies.
• The outlook for purchases of computer equipment, communications equipment, software, IT services and outsourcing, telecommunications services, and CIO organization staff in the US in 2014 and 2015.
• We examine how the forces of cloud computing, smart computing, and mobility are affecting tech markets in the US.
• We compare tech purchases by consumers versus business and government for the US.

Key takeaways:

• Plan for how to structure your tech budget and project portfolio to keep up with the market and competitors.
