Canadian IT 2011-2015 Forecast by Vertical Market

This IDC study provides the Canadian information technology (IT) spending and growth forecast over 18 vertical markets for the period from 2011 to 2015. It updates our previous forecast document (see Canadian IT 2010-2014 Forecast by Vertical Market, IDC #CA5ES10, August 2010), highlights the key trends impacting IT spending in these markets, and breaks down spending by IT segment (hardware, software, and IT services).

"Opportunities to capture IT spending are most evident in Canadian banking, business services, and communications and media. Vendors need to take a sophisticated approach to targeting these markets as the business drivers, workforce needs, and technology maturity are very different across these industries," says Tony Olvet, group VP of Research at IDC Canada.
