“Total IT expenditures in 2001 were flat worldwide, grew at a slightly negative rate in the United States, ” says Hugh Bishop, Senior Vice President. “Aberdeen forecasts that spending will begin to recover this year, although the degree and exact timing of that recovery will vary from country to country.”
“IT spending will no longer be a tide that lifts all boats,” continued Bishop. “As a result, suppliers and market segments exhibiting hyper-growth will most likely do so at the expense of others.”
