Summary

This IDC study provides analysis of the December 2007 and January 2008 FutureScan Surveys of IT buyers in the United States, with questions on overall IT budget expectations, prioritization of investments, and contingency planning for a potential economic slowdown.

"Contingency planning is essential in the current environment. Not only is the range of potential variance wider than usual, but the possible spillover from economic wild cards carries additional risks to short-term market stability and growth. The full aftershocks of the subprime mortgage crisis are not yet fully understood or quantified."? Stephen Minton, VP, IDC Worldwide IT Markets
