Review Global IT Economic Outlook: A Snapshot of the Global Economy and IT Markets, 3Q04 / IDC Research:

This IDC study provides an in-depth analysis of global economic conditions and their impact on IT markets around the world. It answers questions such as: What shaped the developments in the global economy during 3Q04, and what impact will these drivers have on the outlook for the global economy and IT spending going forward? What will be the key drivers for a recovery in IT spending? Where are IT spending prospects the most promising, and where are they the weakest? "Economic data over 3Q04 raised concerns that the world economy is beginning to lose traction. Although many economies have slowed down somewhat, with Japan and Europe hitting a 'soft patch,' the global economy was relatively resilient because the United States and China held up," said Anna Toncheva, research manager and economist for IDC's Leading IT Indicators research program. "We expect that the recovery, which until now has been concentrated in the United States, China, and the emerging markets, will broaden and strengthen in 2005. ".

An abundance of promotions offering low-cost systems helped boost overall volume, particularly in the consumer segment. However, it will be difficult to sustain these growth rates in the foreseeable future particularly because there is a risk of rising cost due to some component shortages and rising oil prices. Inventory management and competitive pricing along with changes in growth by region present both challenges and opportunities to PC vendors.

Review New Zealand Fixed-Line Telecommunications 2004 Market Analysis / IDC Research:

The New Zealand telecommunications market is in the process of a fundamental transformation — one that is seeing the waning importance of the traditional voice mainstay of the fixed-line carriers Telecom NZ and TelstraClear.

This IDC study analyses key trends, activity, and strategic responses in the evolving telecommunications market including: The competitive, technological, and regulatory developments affecting fixed-line calling revenues for the incumbent operator Telecom NZ and primary entrant TelstraClear Activity and interplay amongst the major players in the fixed-line calling market including tier 2 participants such as CallPlus, Compass Communications, WorldxChange, Ihug, and Zintel Strategic responses to the declining significance of fixed-line telephony including acknowledgement of the role and importance of Next Generation fixed-line and mobile networks and associated value-added services and the increasing emphasis on content and entertainment provision "New Zealand is accelerating towards a very different telecommunications environment. We are seeing diversification and the de-emphasis of traditional fixed-line telephony as mechanisms changing the business profiles of industry participants in their drive towards continual relevancy and growth. When powerful phone companies say they are no longer phone companies, you know the IT service providers have reason to be anxious," states Christopher Loh, senior analyst, Telecommunications, IDC New Zealand.
