Introduction
Technology is a well-established and mature market for OSPs and is currently the third largest market globally. Since the bubble burst at the beginning of the new millennium, technology vendors have seen the markets shrink and their incomes fall, resulting in both a threat and an opportunity for OSPs as the vendors take actions to cut costs and penetrate new markets.
Scope
Covers hardware and software vendors and systems integrators
Covers North America, EMEA and offshore markets
