Market Overview

The Evolving Networked Computing
Business Technology Market


From streamlining business process to building tighter links with customers, suppliers and partners, corporate initiatives are driving the purchase of information technology products and services. Whether an organization is building the infrastructure, applications and systems to manage all of these needs, or utilizing a service provider to manage the process, there are four primary issues that need to be considered:
  • Reliability: Will the vendor be a valuable partner, and can they stand the test of time. Will their solutions be stable and reliable enough to manage the business processes they underlie.

  • Compatibility: Will the solution work with the existing installed base at the organization, and can they easily integrate into the systems of partners, suppliers and customers.

  • Scalability: Will the solution be able to handle the aggressive needs of a progressive company, and can the solutions grow as the business and its customers grow.

  • Manageability: Will this solution enable the technology manager to proactively manage business processes and growth, rather than reacting to component and system problems.
Across all of the products, technologies and services that are essential to achieving corporate initiatives, business technology managers need to understand these critical aspects of their purchase decisions.
