Planning for 2012: The ICT Market

FINAL WEEK TO BOOK - last seats remain

2010-11 was the biggest year yet for the Federal Government ICT market, with over $6 billion in total value of new contracts signed.  It also saw the establishment of a number of Whole of Government (WofG) panels.

Intermedium's Planning for 2012  briefing will provide a summary of the Federal Government ICT market events of 2010-11 that will shape 2012.  IT will do this from the perspective of:

• Agencies;
• Suppliers; and
• Hardware, Software, IT Services and Telecommunications activity in the market.

The briefing will address the following key questions:

• What impact is Managed Services having on the market and how did the non-managed services part of the market fare?
• What happened with the Tier 2, Tier 3 and 4 agencies and their suppliers in 2010-11 and what does this suggest for the market in 2012? 
• What is happening with the Labour Hire market?
• The budget for 2011-12 is lean on ICT initiatives and puts most of the funding into DHS – but what progress yet?
• What level of business is now going through the WofG panels? How much will this increase?
• What are the Q1 indicators for market performance for 2011-12?

Given the predicted Mini Budget, Intermedium will seek to answer the following questions:

• Where are expenditure cuts most likely to be fall inside government, and why?
• Are any agencies more vulnerable than others?
• Which categories of supply will be hit hardest, and why?
• How should suppliers respond in the face of this further belt tightening?
