Australian ICT 2012 Top 10 Predictions

This IDC study outlines IDC Australia's ICT predictions for 2012. Whilst the industry has been undergoing a period of transformation and cost reduction, 2012 will be the year Australian organisations look to reap rewards of the technology investments.

"As we head into what looks to be a turbulent 2012, the only certainty is uncertainty. Whilst this region is becoming increasingly resilient to the economic woes of other regions, companies are likely to hedge their bets when investing in ICT in 2012. Pairing caution with ambition, companies will still seek to profit from the growth in the region. But as consumers and workforces are becoming smarter and more demanding, companies will need to match their efforts with intelligent spending to avoid getting their fingers burnt in case another worldwide crisis hits," says Matthew Oostveen, IDC Australia director of Research.
