Review IT Decision-Making Processes and Strategies in Western European Vertical Markets: An IDC Survey / IDC Research:

This study draws on the results of IDC's European Vertical Market Survey, carried out In March/April 2005 in the top 5 Western European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the U. K. ) among 1,150 companies with more than 20 employees. The survey looks at vertical market IT spending directions, solution priorities, investment plans, adoption of new technologies and mobility, outsourcing, the role of IT within the organization, and customer satisfaction with their IT suppliers. Focusing on companies' IT decision-making process and strategy, this study assesses: The percentage of companies relying on different business functions for decisions related to the level of IT budget, implementation/enhancements of solutions, and choice of vendor or brand by vertical market. Rating of influence on a scale 1 to 5 for different job functions by vertical market. Reliance on external advisors and scope of their involvement by vertical market. Average length of decision-making process for technologies/projects by vertical market. Key areas of focus of IT strategies and key IT concerns by vertical market. Results are given for total Western Europe for the following vertical markets: Banking; insurance and other finance; discrete manufacturing; process manufacturing; healthcare services; transport, telecommunications, media, and utilities; retail and wholesale; business services; education; and government. [+]
"Controlling costs is still an area of key focus in 2005. However, European companies have indicated other main areas of IT focus for 2005. 40% of banks will deal with projects aimed at integrating existing IT systems. A relevant percentage of companies in business services, healthcare, and transport/telecom/media/utilities will focus on strategic applications to gain competitive advantage," said Giuliana Folco, research director, European Vertical markets.

A brief description of these projects and names of ITC contractors are also provided.

What are the key challenges that these industries will have to face in the near future? "Companies and organizations in Romania are increasingly viewing IT as a means to meet business objectives and they are seeking total solutions that fit their needs. To remain competitive in this environment, IT vendors should develop vertical knowledge and business expertise to better address the needs and specifics of each industry" – Laurentiu Popescu, Branch Manager, IDC Romania.
