The study contains market size, vendor market shares, and forecasts for thirteen foundation market categories. The study ranks the top ITS providers by their 2007 revenues and includes detailed profiles of their ITS portfolios for the top ten, their presence in individual vertical markets, and their largest contracts. The top IT services providers for each of IDC's foundation-market categories are also provided. The study answers the following questions: What are IDC's predictions for spending on ITS, what are the assumptions for forecast numbers, and what impact will these have on the market forecasts? What are the new trends in ITS delivery, such as outsourcing and business services? Who are the market leaders based on services revenue, and what are their strengths, weaknesses, and strategies for the future? "Political turmoil continues in Ukraine, as yet another parliament has been. However, public sector upheaval does not seem to have had a negative impact on the ITS market. An increasing number of multinational vendors are entering the market, which is increasing competition for both business and skilled professionals. Despite this trend, local vendors remain dominant. To fend off increasing competition from the multinationals, local players should tailor their offerings to the SME segment, which tends to require less complex, and thus more affordable, services." – Research Analyst Alexander Kopich, IDC Ukraine </description><pubDate>Tue, 04 Nov 2008 00:00:00 EST</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
