Keeping up to date with the very latest and most pressing issues facing your organization can be a challenge, and while there is no shortage of information in the public domain, filtering and prioritizing the knowledge you need can be time consuming and unrewarding. Issues Monitor Technology is published to help you navigate the multitude of information out in the market. I hope that you find it useful and I welcome the opportunity to further discuss the issues presented and their impact on your business.

Welcome to the July edition of Issues Monitor Technology. Each edition pulls together and shares industry knowledge to help you quickly and easily get briefed on the issues that affect your sector.

ISSUE 1: Software as a Service market growing rapidly The growth in the global Software as a Service (SaaS) market is largely driven by the increasing need of organizations, across industries, to cut costs, and by the relative speed and ease with which SaaS solutions can be deployed. Further, an increasing number of small and medium-size firms are adopting SaaS, prompting service providers to introduce a wider range of SaaS solutions. Many vendors are also looking at potential acquisitions to strengthen their market position. At the same time, major concerns remain regarding security, network instability and integration. This has caused customers to focus more on stringent service level agreements, contract terms and governance structures.

ISSUE 2: Enterprise IT spend takes a cut The global economic challenge is forcing CIOs to look at their IT budgets very carefully. The return on each IT investment is critically evaluated and CIOs are finding various ways to derive the maximum value out of the IT investments made. Cloud computing, business analytics, virtualization, social media and mobility are few of the initiatives that enterprises are considering to be on high priority in order to meet their client needs, increase profitability and gain competitive advantage. It is evident that despite the global economic challenges, enterprises continue to invest in IT (especially in various technologies such as cloud, analytics, mobility etc). Many research firms suggest that there might be a slowdown in the growth of enterprise IT spend because of the postponement of IT spending decisions and delay in decision making process; however organizations are expected to continue spending in critical IT areas which are expected to add value to the business with an assured return on investment (RoI).

Global SaaS market being driven by cost cutting and ease and speed of deployment
According to KPMGs Embracing the Cloud , nearly half of the end-users surveyed (46 percent) stated that their most likely investments are expected to be in cloud-delivered SaaS. The global cloud computing market networks of virtual servers that allow individuals and businesses to access information from any internetconnected device is experiencing robust growth. This growth is driven primarily by the need of companies to reduce costs. Another factor driving growth is the need for easy access to technology, as cloud computing can provide such access.1, 2 The Software as a Service (SaaS) model has experienced the most rapid growth in the global cloud computing market. According to Embracing the Cloud KPMGs 2011 Global Cloud Survey report (based on a global survey of over 900 executives in 15 countries) nearly half of the end-users surveyed (46 percent) stated that their most likely investments are expected to be in cloud-delivered SaaS, as shown in Figure 1.3 As SaaS also referred to as on-demand software provides applications through the internet, it eliminates the need to install, run or maintain programs in internal systems.4

In 2011, the worldwide SaaS market revenue reached US$12.3 billion, up from US$10 billion in 2010. In 2012, the worldwide SaaS market revenue is expected to reach US$14.5 billion. Companies across industries are

increasing their investments, shifting their projects from on-premise to SaaS. The following factors are contributing to the robust growth seen in global SaaS market, as shown inFigure 2:

Figure 2: Factors driving growth in the global SaaS market5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Cost cutting Amid the current uncertain economic conditions, tight IT budgets are pushing demand for cloud computing services. Post 2009-2010 recession the opportunity to save costs is attracting companies to implement SaaS-based applications, as these do not require upfront investments for physical infrastructure, deployment and training. The global SaaS market is expected to reach US$21.3 billion by 2015, growing at a CAGR of 14.7 during 2011-1512

The speed and ease of deployment have contributed to the increasing popularity of the SaaS model. The faster implementation of SaaS and the immediate access it offers reduce the time taken by customers to realize value from software purchases. Growth is also being driven by consumers increasing familiarity with the SaaS model

Ease and speed of deployment Increasing demand from SMBs

Increasing adoption of SaaS by small and medium-size businesses (SMBs) is another major factor driving growth. As SMBs find the pay-as-you-use SaaS model in line with their business objectives, the demand from these SMBs is increasing. Another factor behind SMB adoption of SaaS solutions is the need to reduce overall investment by eliminating added costs associated with on-premise solutions such as software licenses, dedicated servers, maintenance fees and upgrades, and IT personnel support.

Further, with the increased workforce mobility in both large corporates and SMBs, there is greater need to access data from smartphones and tablets. As SaaS facilitates the integration of powerful business applications on smartphones, tablets and other

wireless devices, it is likely to be increasingly adopted by the corporate business environment. This model will help boost companies productivity and efficiency by providing employees access to data while they are on themove.13, 14

In the Asia Pacific region, SaaS market revenue grew 21.5 percent, from US$601.8 million in 2010 to US$730.9 million in 2011. Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore and South Korea are some of the key SaaS markets that offer growth opportunities for service providers. In Japan, SaaS revenue reached US$427 million in 2011, up 35.4 percent from US$315.3 million in 2010. Figure 3 provides SaaS revenue in different regions and the factors pushing growth, along with forecasts for 2015.

Figure3: SaaS revenue in different regions and high-growth markets EMEA The Western European SaaS market revenue is expected to grow from US$2.7 billion in 2011 to US$4.8 billion in 2015. Eastern Europe SaaS market revenue is expected to reach US$270.1 million in 2015, up from US$135.5 million in 2011. Major factors contributing to the robust growth in the Northern Europe SaaS market include culturally open outlook toward technology adoption, well-established internet infrastructure and English as the primary language. Low TCO is the key driver of growth in the EMEA region. AMERICAS North Americas SaaS revenue is expected to reach US$12.9 billion in 2015, up from US$7.8 billion in 2011. Ease and speed of deployment and lower total cost of ownership (TCO) are driving growth. Latin Americas SaaS market is at an embryonic stage. It is expected to grow from US$331.1 million in 2011 to US$694.2million in 2015. ASIA PACIFIC The Asia Pacific SaaS market revenue is expected to reach US$1.7 billion in 2015, up from US$730.9 million in 2011. Major factors spurring growth in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore and South Korea, include established infrastructure, more-stable networks and availability of vendor sales, marketing and support service structures. Japan SaaS market is expected to grow from US$427 million in 2011 to US$629.1 million in 2015.

Worldwide SaaS market Segment outlook


.

Within the global SaaS market, customer relationship management (CRM) accounts for the largest share, as shown in Figure 4. In 2011, the segment revenue is expected to reach US$3.8 billion, up 18.7 percent from US$3.2 billion in 2010. This growth in the SaaS CRM market is being driven largely by the need to improve customer

loyalty management, promote customer retention and enhance the customer experience. The market landscape for on-demand CRM continues to evolve and mature as the availability and use of SaaS solutions become more pervasive, said Tom Eid, Vice President of Technology and Service Provider Research at Gartner.17

The other key SaaS segments are content, communication and collaboration (CCC) and enterprise resource planning (ERP). In 2011, SaaS revenue within the CCC market is expected to reach US$3.3 billion, up 17 .8 percent from US$2.8 billion in 2010. Businesses are increasingly moving to CCC solutions, as they not only facilitate content sharing but also enable employees to connect and collaborate more effectively. Employees can work on the same

documents in real-time from any location and any internet-connected device.18, 19 In fact, CCC solutions have made instant messaging, web conferencing and document sharing both internally and externally easier.20 The SaaS ERP segment revenue is expected to grow 13.3 percent, from US$1.5 billion in 2010 to US$1.7 billion in 2011. As SaaS ERP solutions eliminate the need to install hardware and ensure easier and faster implementation, executives involved in technology decision-making across businesses

are increasingly turning to these solutions. However, the penetration of SaaS within ERP varies greatly between subsegments, with human capital management (HCM) having the most penetration. The availability of HR systems as SaaS which can be paid for on a monthly subscription basis helps companies manage HR data in real time. Some of the core HR areas for SaaS that are gaining importance are labor management, HR administration, payroll and recruitment.21, 22, 23, 24

Strategic initiatives taken by various SaaS providers


.

Players such as Microsoft, IBM, HP , Dell, Salesforce.com and Amazon are all developing new SaaS solutions and adding capabilities to the existing ones to strengthen their positions in

the market. Also, they are looking at potential acquisitions to expand their offerings. Table 1 outlines various initiatives taken by service providers in the global SaaS market.

Table 1: Strategies followed by companies in the SaaS market to increase market share Strategy Introduction of new SaaS solutions Description As the demand for SaaS grows, service providers are launching new offerings, adding new capabilities to the existing services and introducing industry-specific SaaS solutions. Example BMC Software In January 2012, BMC Software, a US-based provider of IT service management (ITSM) solutions, announced the availability of its Remedy OnDemand solution, the ITSM SaaS solution optimized for local, state, federal and public highereducation markets, for the government sector. 25 Fujitsu In January 2012, Fujitsu announced the release of Ticket Management SaaS, a solution that enables event promoters throughout Japan to manage ticket sales for entertainment events including movies, theater performances, concerts and sporting events in addition to managing events and purchases. In contrast to the conventional method of selling tickets through Playguide, a popular ticket purchasing system in Japan, the new solution allows users to handle ticket reservations, sales and management on their own in real time. As a result, promoters can sell tickets efficiently and at lower cost.26 Also, in October 2011, Fujitsu announced the launch of Ufinity for Public, a SaaS offering for public libraries throughout Japan. This next-generation library service is expected to bring greater convenience to both library customers and staff, through portal sites. The services include features that make it easy to create and update a library portal site and communicate with staff over the web.27 CSC In September 2011, US-based CSC announced the launch of a SaaS model for its insurance billing application, Exceed Billing. This application is expected to help insurance companies cut costs, expand billing channels, increase payment options and consolidate multiple market segments. The software offers unlimited payment options and processing for all bill types. Built-in automated processes and integrated workflow help boost productivity. Further, Exceed Billing helps insurers enhance customer and agent satisfaction, improve retention rates and accelerate speed to market.28

Strategy Technology companies focusing on M&A to enhance SaaS capabilities

Description Various technology companies such as Oracle, Microsoft and HP are looking at potential merger and acquisition (M&A) opportunities to extend their SaaS offerings. They are also entering into partnerships with other players to offer new SaaS services. In the US, 48 SaaS companies were acquired in the third quarter of 2011, up from 45 in the second quarter and 39 in the first quarter. This rise in M&A activity in the SaaS market reflects the fact that chief information officers (CIOs) are gaining confidence in SaaS-deployed applications.29, 30

Example Oracle In February 2012, Oracle completed the acquisition of Taleo, an on-demand talent management software company, for US$1.9 billion. With the Taleo acquisition, Oracle plans to bolster its cloud HR applications.31 Also, in October 2011, Oracle announced its plans to acquire RightNow, a US-based cloud-based customer service application company, for US$1.5 billion. As RightNows Customer Service Cloud helps companies deliver customer experiences across call centers, the Web and social networks, the acquisition is expected to boost Oracles CRM initiatives and counter the stiff competition from Salesforce.com.32, 33 SAP and NEC In February 2012, IT and network technologies firm NEC and enterprise application software firm SAP Japan entered into a partnership to provide billing services through SaaS that operate on NECs cloud computing systems. Under the new business partnership agreement, NEC and SAP Japan are expected to provide the billing services as cloud-based SaaS that enable a reduction in initial investments, and are easy to expand.34 In February 2012, SAP acquired SuccessFactors, a leading provider of cloud-based business execution software, for US$3.4 billion. The acquisition combined with Oracles acquisition of RightNow highlights how legacy enterprise software vendors are building their capabilities in the cloud based HR solutions.35 Wipro and Oracle In January 2012, India-based Wipro Technologies announced the launch of Wipro SprintHR, a cloud-based technology offering, used to deploy Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management. It is available as a SaaS model and is designed to help enable enterprise customers to transform their HR processes.36 Salesforce.com In September 2011, Salesforce.com completed the acquisition of Assistly, an instant customer-service helpdesk built for the cloud, for US$50 million. The acquisition is expected to help Salesforce.com extend its Service Cloud customer service offering to small businesses.37, 38

Service providers focus on pricing strategy to foster SaaS adoption

To bolster SaaS adoption, SaaS providers are also focusing on their pricing strategies. Increased activity in this area by leading technology players such as Microsoft, HP and Google is adding to the competition, thereby resulting in an intense price war in the global SaaSmarket.39

Microsoft In August 2011, Microsoft introduced its Cloud CRM for less offer. Under this offer, which was available through March 2012, companies did not need to pay any premium for CRM solutions. During this time, Microsoft was expected to grant US$150in cash per user seat to any customer that switched to its application. A minimum of 50seats were required under the offer, for a maximum of 500 user seats. This made it easier for Salesforce.com, SAP and Oracle customers to switch to Microsoft Dynamics CRMOnline.40, 41

Challenges yet to be addressed


Although SaaS is becoming increasingly popular, certain issues around security, network instability and implementation Figure 5: Challenges that are hindering SaaS market growth42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50 Security continues to be a major issue. In August 2011, Salesforces Sandbox* outage raised concerns over the security and reliability of SaaS. The Sandbox environment went down for six days, compelling customers to focus on SLAs and SaaS testing. Also, in August 2011, the five-hour outage of Microsofts Office 365 drew attention to the issue of security.

cycles remain. Figure 5 shows the major challenges that are hindering growth in the SaaS market.

Network instability is another issue that is hampering growth of the SaaS market. Well-established infrastructure and stable networks that can handle huge traffic are important to ensure consistent services.

Security

Network instability

While SaaS deployment is usually quick, customized SaaS installations can take considerable time, due to technical challenges.

Longer-thananticipated implementation cycles

Limited integration with existing systems

Lack of integration between SaaS and on-premise systems creates challenges around monitoring or controlling user identity access.

These challenges call for stricter governance policies that can ensure data security and efficient running of SaaS applications.

As access is a centralized and automated function, accesscontrol systems that are well-established in enterprise applications, but are rarely extended to SaaS provider networks, can cause problems while performing several functions such as disabling access to any employee. The issues around integration are expected to cause further challenges, as organizations look to better leverage internal and external data and information.

These challenges have prompted service providers to increase their focus on ensuring uninterrupted service and effective security of their SaaS solutions. In August 2011, Salesforce. com acquired Navajo Systems, an Israel-based cloud security encryption vendor to encrypt customer data and ensure data security. This acquisition has the promise of providing greater customer

assurance that the data in Salesforce is effectively guaranteed safe, said Jeff Hudson, Chief Executive Officer of Venafi, a US-based company that provides an automated way to manage encryptionkeys. In October 2011, NetSuite, a cloud-based SaaS integrated business management software provider, announced plans to boost its SaaS capabilities and enhance security in

* Sandbox is a hosted testing and training application, which helps customers conduct training on hosted applications from AppExchange. AppExchange was designed to extend Salesforce.coms presence in the enterprise beyond hosted sales and service applications. It provides new applications, such as human resources, data cleansing or vertical editions of Salesforce.com.

its solutions. The company formed a partnership with CA Technologies, a US-based IT management software and solutions company, whose twofactor authentication technology (two-factor authentication is a security process in which the user provides two means of identification, one of which is typically a physical token such as a card, and the other of which is typically something memorized, such as a security code) is expected to be applied on NetSuites back-end

systems and sold as an option to customers.51, 52 The need for security governance is also pushing for stricter governance policies around cloud computing and SaaS. The importance of governance mechanisms will continue to increase as SaaS becomes a larger element of a companys overall sourcing strategy, said Sharon Mertz, Research Director atGartner.53 Further, buyer behavior has also

been changing. Customers are now making more informed choices. They are seeking guidance regarding SaaS prices and discounts, service-level agreements (SLAs) and contract terms. They are also emphasizing uptime and performance in the negotiation process. In addition, they are focusing on understanding the exit clauses and strategies that should be set in place before entering into a SaaS agreement, so as to protect them from failedsolutions.54

Outlook

Given the increasing popularity of SaaS and the various initiatives taken by service providers to overcome SaaSrelated challenges, the global SaaS market is expected to show robust growth.55 This growth is expected to be driven by the increasing demand for SaaS solutions from sectors such as government, manufacturing, natural resources, wholesale trade and retail.56 Also, increasing demand from the SMB sector is likely to bolster the growth. The following examples suggest the future growth in the global SaaSmarket: In November 2011, the US federal government released a draft version that discusses its plans to accelerate the adoption of cloud computing. The Obama administration is pushing its federal agencies to adopt SaaS solutions, to reduce spending and increase the efficiency of federal IT.57 Between 2010 and 2014, the SaaSbased ERP software market in the Asia-Pacific region is expected

to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 45.2 percent, according to a November 2011 Research and Markets report. In North America, it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 24.8 percent over the same period. The US SMB SaaS CRM market is expected to triple by 2015, according to AMI Partners* US SMB Cloud Services study. The increased availability of broadband internet connectivity, the proliferation of wireless-enabled mobile devices and the need to cut costs amid uncertain economic conditions are the major factors driving SMBs toward cloudservices.58 In order to explore this growth opportunity, service providers need to form partnerships and collaborate with multiple vendors to introduce new solutions. Cloud alliances and partnerships are expected to support future growth, especially when the market is becoming increasinglycompetitive.59

Introduction

In 2012, worldwide enterprise IT spend is expected to increase 3.9 percent y-o-y to US$2.7 trillion, falling much short of the early 2011 estimate of 5.9 percent. These weak forecasts indicate that IT departments across industries worldwide are cutting their IT budgets. According to Stephen Minton, Vice President of Worldwide IT Markets at IDC, 2012 IT spending forecasts are based on the assumption of a weak European economy between zero

and one percent growth and in the US between one and two percent growth. This is pretty weak by historical standards. 60, 61 This reduction in enterprise IT spend is impacting the overall IT spend globally (enterprise IT spending constituted around 70 percent of overall IT spending in 2011). After experiencing a lull in 2009, the technology industry experienced a recovery in IT spend in 2010. Further, 2011 marked a year of growth for IT

budgets, even though they remained far below pre-2008 levels. In 2012, the global IT spend is expected to grow only 3.7 percent year-on-year (y-o-y), to reach US$3.8 trillion, lower than the earlier estimate of 4.6 percent according to Gartner.62, 63 Figures 6 and 7 show the global IT spend over 201112, and the global enterprise IT spend (201112) with projected vs. actual growth rates.

The global IT spend, which was projected during 3Q 2011 to grow 4.6 percent in 2012, is now expected to grow 3.7 percent. On the same lines, global enterprise IT spending is expected to grow 3.9 percent against a projected growth rate of 5.9 percent.64

According to Gartner, the reduction of its forecast for worldwide IT spend for 2012 is not only for the anticipated slower growth rate of the global economy, but also Thailand floods impacting general IT spending in the first two quarters. There seems to be greater concern from Thailand supply

chain than previously expected. This apart, the European credit crisis also seemed to have cast its shadow on Gartner to reduce its outlook for IT spending in 2012.65 Figures 8 and 9 show global IT spend by key sub-sectors in 2011 and 2012 and their growth rates.

The reduced IT spending affects almost all the verticals, including Government which is a focus vertical for the IT companies because of various e-governance initiatives across regions.

The reduction in growth of worldwide IT spend for 2012 is expected to impact four major technology sub-sectors, namely computing hardware, enterprise software, IT services, and telecommunications equipment andservices. It has been predicted that all the four sub-sectors will grow at a slower rate in2012 than in 2011. The computing hardware sector, which grew 7 .6 percent y-o-y in 2011, is expected to grow at 5.1percent in 2012; The IT services segment is expected to grow at 3.1 percent in 2012, while it grew 6.9 percent y-o-y in 2011; Enterprise software is expected to grow at 6.4 percent y-o-y in 2012, compared to 9.6 percent in 2011. The floods in Thailand (that occurred in October, 2011) is having serious implications for businesses globally, especially with regard to computer and storage purchases. In fact, many prominent companies, such as Intel,

had to reduce their revenue forecasts (Intel reduced its Q4,2011 revenue forecast to US$13.7 billion, from the earlier projection of US$14.7 billion) following the supply constraints of hard disc drive (HDD) from Thailand. The shipment of PCs too was reduced in the wake of floods.66 Thailand enjoys a 40 to 45 percent market share in the HDD market globally and the supply constraints from the country, as a result of the closure of some of the manufacturing units after the floods, have increased the prices of HDD. The increase in HDD prices have resulted in postponement of new IT projects and reduced IT spending across corporate and government organizations. Supply of HDD from Thailand is expected to increase during the latter part of the second quarter of 2012, followed by stabilization in prices.67 The reduced IT spending affects almost all the verticals, including Government which is a focus vertical for IT companies because of various e-governance initiatives acrossregions.

Tumultuous economic conditions in eurozone and US taking toll on enterprise IT spend


.

With factory output falling and economic sentiment weakening, the eurozone economy continues to falter.68 In the first quarter of 2012, the regions y-o-y gross domestic product (GDP) contracted 0.1 percent, lower than the average quarterly GDP growth of 1.8 percent over 19952011.69, 70 According to Gartner, in 2011, enterprise

IT spend in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) of which Western Europe accounts for an 80 percent share is estimated at EUR604 billion (US$787 .5 billion), representing a y-o-y decline of 1.4 percent, as shown in Figure 10. Enterprise IT spend in Western Europe is estimated to have declined 1.8 percent annually in 2011.71, 72

Among the other major countries, both UKs and Spains GDP contracted by 0.3 percent, during the same period. According to an IDC survey conducted in November 2011, Western European companies are planning cautious IT spend in 2012. Approximately 40 percent of the companies are expected to raise external IT spend, with only a quarter of these planning to increase by 5 percent. About 17 percent of the companies expect external IT spend in 2012 to decline, while the remaining plan to make no changes to their IT budgets.

Also, austerity measures by governments in the eurozone suggest that further IT budget cuts are expected across the region. In February 2011, the UK government extended its IT spending controls program introduced in 2010. According to the new budget guidelines, all central government IT contracts worth more than GBP5 million (US$8.1 million) are subject to approval by the Treasury and the Cabinet Office. The Cabinet Office is reviewing all large existing IT

contracts with other departments. It has already reviewed over 300 projects and aims to stop contracts worth GBP1 billion (US$1.5).73 Such moves are targeted at checking the viability of various IT projects and curtailing those that are not sustainable, and subsequently saving costs. Similarly, government departments and enterprises in the US have also been compelled to implement IT budget cuts. In the first quarter of 2012, the

y-o-y GDP growth rate in the US stood at 1.9 percent, a modest increase from the 1.6 percent y-o-y growth in the previous quarter, as shown in Figure 11.74, 75, 76 This slow economic growth has led to shrinking corporate profits and a widening trade deficit. In North America, in 2012, investment in IT by enterprises and the public sector is expected to fall 0.6 percent, according to a global Gartner survey of 2,335 chief investment officers (CIOs) published in January 2012.77

Reduction in enterprise IT budgets affects technology companies


.

The increased risk of another economic meltdown has compelled companies and governments in both the eurozone and the US to contract their IT budgets. This has affected the technology companies that rely primarily on these two regions. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 (ended February 8, 2012), CSC reported a loss of US$1.39 billion, or a 5.8 percent y-o-y decline in revenue, to US$3.7 billion. This dip in performance was due to a US$1.49 billion charge related to the UK governments cancellation of a health IT contract.83 In the first quarter of 2012, HP reported a 7 percent y-o-y fall in its revenue, to US$30 billion. The company further issued cautious outlook for the second quarter of 2012, highlighting cautiousness around both consumer

and commercial spending, and hard disc drive shortage.84 In addition, other companies such as Microsoft, Sony, Toshiba and IBM reported softening in demand from companies across industries. This trend is expected to continue in the second half of 2012. For example, in November 2011, life insurance company Western & Southern Financial Group announced plans to cut or leave IT spend unchanged in 2012. However, it also announced plans to invest in virtualization software from VMware so it can cut purchases of server computers from Dell and HPQ and storage products from EMC and NetApp.85 Mark Loughridge, Senior VP and CFO of IBM, highlighted how the trend is affecting business decisions. I do think

Is your company focused on new opportunity areas such as cloud, virtualization and business analytics?

CFOs are cautious, and they want to make sure they have the right processes engaged. On the other hand, they are also looking for value to apply to their business equations, he said. However, he also emphasized that amid such challenging conditions, the demand for opportunities that new technologies such as cloud computing and business analytics offer are also on the rise.86

Emerging economies to drive enterprise IT spend


.

While in developed economies, technology companies are facing tough IT budgets, the emerging economies are likely to drive IT spend. The pace of economic growth in emerging economies is leading to a shift in enterprise focus toward IT. Moreover, these economies are experiencing a rapid growth in demand for customer support services, supply

chain management, business process optimization or innovation in business, and as a result, enterprises are increasingly looking at IT to cater to this demand.87 In 2012, enterprise IT spend in Asia Pacific (including Japan and Australia) is expected to grow 8 percent y-o-y, to US$367 billion. This growth is expected to come mainly from India and China, as shown in Figure 12.

The Indian enterprise market is quite distinct from other markets in Asia/ Pacific, said Derry Finkeldey, Principal Research Analyst at Gartner. The retail industry is expected to achieve the strongest growth in percentage terms in 2012, where IT spending is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 12.8 percent during 2010 (US$1.7 billion) -2016 (US$3.1 billion). A recent decision to allow 100 percent foreign direct investment (FDI) in single brand retail is expected to provide the sector with a significant boost in terms of IT usage

and adoption. Selection of partners with deep vertical expertise will be crucial to success. 95 Given the emergence of IT as an enabler in industries beyond manufacturing, government and financial services, currently IT providers are investing a significant amount of money with their channel partners. The focus is to convert them from generalists to specific industry product specialists to boost their products/solutions sales.96

Outlook

The uniform and stable economic growth in Asia Pacific, coupled with growth in emerging markets such as Brazil and Mexico, is expected to provide a thrust to enterprise IT spend. Enterprises in these geographies are revamping their IT infrastructure to expand their presence both domestically and internationally.130 Moreover, SMB spending in these regions is expected to drive IT spend. According to IDCs Worldwide SMB 2012 Predictions published in January 2012, worldwide SMB IT spend is expected to reach US$542 billion in 2012, up from

US$508billion in 2011. In 2012, growth in SMB spend is expected to be 11percent each in both Asia Pacific and Latin America. SMB spend in Central Europe and the Middle East and Africa (CEMA) is expected to be 10 percent during the same year. At the same time, SMB spend growth is expected to be 6 percent in North America, around 4percent in Western Europe and around 2 percent in Japan.131 Figure 16 shows forecast economic growth in developed and developing economies vis--vis enterprise IT spend in these regions.

Figure 16: GDP forecasts and enterprise IT spend outlook US GDP growth unchanged at 1.8 percent in 2012. However, estimates for 2013 lowered, from 2.5 percent to 2.2 percent. Eurozone GDP estimates revised down to -0.5 percent in 2012. For 2013, GDP growth is cut to 0.8 percent, down from earlier estimate of 1.5 percent.

GDP growth in China is expected at 8.2 percent in 2012 and 8.8 percent in 2013. India is expected to grow at 7 percent in 2012. Cloud computing, virtualization, business analytics, mobility and social media are expected to push enterprise IT spend

In 2012, enterprise IT spend is expected to show moderate growth over 2011. In the EMEA region, enterprise IT spend is expected to grow 1.5 percent y-o-y in 2012, while it is expected to grow 1.9 percent in Australia. The US is expected to see modest growth in enterprise IT spend, due to non-uniform economic growth. However, both enterprises and government are expected to invest in cloud computing, business analytics, mobility and security. In the Asia Pacific region, enterprise IT spend is expected to grow 8 percent y-o-y in 2012.

In addition to expanding in emerging economies and key opportunity areas, technology players can focus on the following to grow during tough economic conditions:132 Building customer loyalty, with a customer-centric approach With chief information officers (CIOs) in business and government facing increasing pressure to deliver innovative technology-enabled services to meet ever-changing demands from customers and citizens, technology companies are offering innovative solutions to ensure customer loyalty.133, 134 In February 2012, Qualcomm released a version of its software development kit (SDK) for augmented reality apps, which is expected to be marketed under the Vuforia brand name. This SDK allows computer-generated content to be superimposed over a live camera view of the realworld.135

Along with the new name, Qualcomm also announced version 1.5 of its SDK for Android and iOS. The Vuforia SDK 1.5 is compatible with devices running on Android 2.2 and above, as well as the iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and the fourth generation of the iPod touch, running iOS 4 or newer versions of Apples OS. This provides user convenience across various operatingplatforms.136 Examining the role of key decision makers Technology companies are closely examining the role of CIOs and chief marketing officers (CMOs), as they are crucial to IT budget decision-making processes. With the convergence of marketing and IT, CMOs are expected to hold more influence in setting high-tech marketing budgets than CIOs.137 Also, as both marketing and IT depend on data, teams, processes and software, CMOs and CIOs

are forming strategic partnerships. This cross-functional collaboration can help companies create efficiencies, improve workflows and reducecosts.138 By 2014, CIOs will have lost effective control of 25 percent of their organizations IT spending, and by 2017 , chief marketing officers may have a bigger IT budget than CIOs do, according to GartnersSondergaard.139 Focusing on secure and reliable solutions The new technologies introduced by technology companies are focused to ensure security and reliability, as that is one more way that they can influence IT spend decisions. For example, in August 2011, Salesforce.com acquired Navajo Systems, an Israelbased cloud security encryption vendor. This new encryption technology at Salesforce.com may ease customer concerns about data security in thecloud.140, 141
