Briefing Description

2008-09 saw the convergence of the Gershon Review and the Global Financial Crisis to form a ‘perfect storm’ in the Federal Government ICT market.  However, it was not all bad news.  The Government’s stimulatory response to the GFC, the need to ‘get on’ with a number of key projects, and finalisation of a number of key ICT outsourcing tenders helped give the market an unexpected resilience.

Some suppliers look to have had their best year ever, while a number of traditionally medium agencies look set to become Tier 1 purchasers in the future.

Insights into the market for the next 12 months will be offered at Intermedium’s Year in Review briefing which will also provide a comprehensive analysis of the market during the 2008-09 financial year.

Briefing Objectives

The briefing objectives are to:

• Provide a detailed summary of the Federal Government ICT market in 2008-09;
• Identify key areas of market growth or decline in terms of:
  • Agencies;
  • Suppliers;
  • Products and Service;
• Look at the factors affecting the market – political issues, the economy and administrative influences; and
• Foreshadow what will affect the market over the next 12 months.

Who should attend?

Industry:
Sales directors responsible for segmenting the market and strategic sales planning, and managers whose responsibility is government and allocating sales personnel to accounts.

Froggy Awards

Launched in 2007, the Froggy Award recognises Federal Government ICT market suppliers that achieved the fastest rate of sales growth, over three years as measured by their aggregate annual contract value.

Having reported the Top 100 ICT suppliers to the Federal Government for several years, Intermedium created the Froggy award to recognise growth companies that are likely to be the Federal ICT market challengers of the future.

The Criteria:
To be eligible to win a Froggy Award, suppliers must achieve a minimum of $150,000 in Federal Government ICT contracts in three consecutive years.
