With all sectors of the global economy under increasing pressure, consumers and businesses are suddenly paralyzed by the gathering clouds of fear, uncertainty, and doubt. What can we now expect for IT investment levels in the next 12 months and beyond? In this special telebriefing, IDC will present its new and updated five-year forecast for IT and telecom spending, alongside the results of a global business and consumer survey carried out in October. Questions to be answered will include: What is the direct impact of the financial crisis on short-term IT and telecom spending? Which geographies, vertical industries, and IT product/service sectors are most at risk? Which vendors are likely to be the most affected? What areas of IT budgets are likely to feel the first wave of investment cutbacks in the next three months? What strategies should IT vendors employ in order to survive the current crisis? </description><pubDate>Tue, 11 Nov 2008 00:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Worldwide Server Spending Forecast (November 11, 2008)</title><link>http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&amp;containerId=dg20081111</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&amp;containerId=dg20081111</guid><description>The Worldwide Black Book (IDC #213766) is IDC's quarterly analysis of the status and projected growth of the worldwide ITC industry in 54 countries.
