This IDC study provides a detailed overview of IT spending trends and forecasts for 17 vertical markets (or sectors) and 10 product categories, including hardware, packaged software, and services in Slovenia. The study features overviews of key industry developments, industry challenges, and vertical-specific IT drivers and trends and includes tables detailing IT spending by vertical market for each product for the 2008–2012 period. Analysis is based on continuous research, the monitoring of users' IT spending and emerging purchasing patterns, and supply- and demand-side research.

"In the most advanced organizations throughout Slovenia, the growth of outsourcing of non-core processes and the adoption of SOA are already prompting enterprises to shift toward a tighter alignment of business and technology. Ultimately, for the purpose of convergence, organizations will seek to remove any distinction or separation between IT and business. This will not happen today or tomorrow and not even within the next few years, but it is noteworthy that this slow and gradual shift has begun." – Country Manager Boštjan Klajnščak, IDC Adriatics
