	IDC Regional Briefing "IT Opportunities in SMB and the Public Sector: Rising Asian Demand" Briefing
	Feb 10, 2004 Singapore, The Fullerton Singapore, The Straits Room, Level 4

IT spending has been growing rapidly in recent years. Many vertical industries are dedicating bigger budgets towards all aspects of IT spending. Two up and coming vertical sectors to watch out for are the SMBs and the Government. As the economy struggles to emerge from the depression, competition among IT vendors and service providers also intensifies with many struggling for profitability. Operators throughout the region are also quick to footnote their fervor by emphasizing that they have learnt to be cautious in their capital investments despite their newfound confidence in the Asia/Pacific markets which have almost bottomed out. As a result, communications and IT vendors are being forced to position their products and solutions in line with this prudent attitude towards capital investment to help service providers reduce costs and accelerate their returns on investment while bringing a new dimension to communication dynamics.

At IDC's first breakfast briefing of 2004, our Vertical industry experts will share their latest findings and insights on the changing spending patterns and IT investment priorities of public sector companies and SMBs in the next five years.

This event is priced at S$88.
