Summary

According to TechNavio Analysts, growing environmental concerns among consumers and introduction of stringent norms and standards in several segments such as electronics and process manufacturing are driving manufacturers in North America towards 'green' products and practices.

Further, driven by deregulation and high costs manufacturers in North America have begun to create large networks of suppliers globally to cater to market demands and remain competitive. However, this has increased lead times, expanding risk and deteriorating service levels. Manufacturers have thus begun to look at solutions that streamline supply chains, improve visibility, and reduce inventories and risk.

The report forecasts the IT spending of the manufacturing industry in North America over the period 2007-2010. It is meant for IT vendors and intends to help them identify selling opportunities in the manufacturing industry in North America. The report identifies key business issues being faced by the manufacturing industry in North America.

Further, the identified sales drivers can be used to penetrate these accounts or increase current share of the customer's wallet. Also, the report lists leading IT buyers and provides their brief company profile, along with their IT spending.
