Introduction
The Technology Trends survey of 500 IT decision makers, in H1 2007, shows how the current penetration levels of eight enterprise technologies vary. An analysis of the results indicates which of the technology areas are likely to have the most greenfield (first time) and brownfield (repeat) investments over the next two years.
Scope
Provides an overview of current market penetration for eight core enterprise technology areas. Analyses which solutions will be receiving the most investments both in the short and medium term. Discovers which technologies enterprises are prioritizing for their largest IT project in 2007 and gives an idea of how much they will be investing. Reviews enterprises current outsourcing and purchasing preferences by technology.
Highlights
The penetration for all eight enterprise technologies is set to increase over the next two years. However, the number of greenfield investments in security and enterprise applications appears to be slowing down, indicating that these two markets are close to saturation. Looking at investment opportunities from a short-term and medium-term perspective, it is interesting to note that the number of investments planned will decrease for the high priority, high penetration level technologies and increase for the two technologies with the lowest penetration, mobility and BI. Enterprise applications and security, the two highest penetrated technologies, are also the most likely to be outsourced. Although outsourcing is not a method which appeals to all enterprises, there appears to be a relatively high level of interest in outsourcing some of the core technologies, particularly in the next 6-24 months timeframe.
