Our latest enterprise tech spending data is clear. Steady tech spending continued in November. It does fluctuate by vertical, tech niche and vendor. However, overall we are in a very good position for closing the fourth quarter. Storage, App optimization, Security, Networking, Wireless LAN — lead with an est 4 – 6% Qrt over Qrt growth. Servers flat. Vendor performance and tech niche details available.
11/21/2012 VAR/SI poll shows the majority are ill prepared for selling IaaS, PaaS, SECaaS, BIaaS, in the medium to large business sectors. With an important exception. VAR’s/SI’s with a committed and proven acumen for selling vertical specific infrastructure solutions and/or vertical application solutions ARE succeeding in selling Cloud solutions. FCI/GLG clients: Set up a consult to review.
Happy Thanksgiving,

The IT spending forecasts we provide are up to three months ahead of actuals and up to four months ahead of realized market changes. Q3 2011 will see slight shrinkage in IT spending for the large enterprise space. Preliminary Q4 2011 numbers show the pipeline will deliver somewhere in the mid single digest for Qrt over Qrt growth. Our final forecast numbers and actuals will be available by October Fifth, 2011. The financial vertical is finally stable again however will most likely NOT make up for the delta in Q4. Health care, health care insurance and bio/pharm continues to give us consistent growth.
Detailed reviews available through GLG.
From the SI perspective we can review the strengths, challenges, competitor comparisons, client demand and future outlook. Through GLG we can provide estimated vendor performance as seen through our present and expected technology reviews.
In addition we can share how present economic conditions have effected to the positive or negative spending trends for specific technologies as well as a macro review of spending trends.
