"Java Heats Up: Open Standards Enabling
eGovernment"
In the past, government agencies and ministries
acted as individuals, running on separate systems
and performing multiple processes that devoured
valuable investment and human resources. Today,
government departments are coming together to
build platforms to act as "one company"
through streamlining applications and implementing
solutions that cut, or even eliminate, precious
IT infrastructure costs.
The Java Heats Up: Open Standards Enabling
eGoverment is an industry roadshow that brings
together industry experts and government organizations
to discuss key issues and options available
today that can help governments to meet key
IT and business objectives, such as increasing
interoperability and scalability, while reducing
cost and complexity.
This half-day event will feature presentations
from senior IDC industry analysts and invited
IT vendors, who will outline IT and business
issues faced by government organizations and
the direction that governments are taking to
help them 'do more with less'. It will also
explore Java adoption trends witnessed around
the world and the Java-based solutions that
can set the groundwork for future IT investments
within your organization.
Fast Facts:
- Asia/Pacific government IT spending will increase
at a five-year CAGR of 11.9% from US$10.29 billion
in 2003, to US$18.03 billion in 2008.
- This growth is a result of the region-wide
belief among governments of the importance of
IT, and a desire to see IT investments improve
governance.
- Improvements range from a focus on cost cutting
in Australia and Singapore, to modernization
efforts in developing ASEAN countries, India,
and the People's Republic of China (PRC), to
increasing investments in egovernment services
in Korea, Taiwan, and Malaysia.
- IDC expects modernization efforts to drive
regional government IT spending over the forecast
period. Spending will reach US$18.0 billion
by 2007, for a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)
of 11.9% from 2003 to 2008.
- We also recognize that the region's government
IT infrastructures will steadily mature - this
trend will increase the region's software and
services spend, with both segments growing at
double digit CAGRs of 15.8% and13.8%, respectively,
from 2003 to 2008.
