IDC Canada predicts 4.3 per cent growth in IT spending

摘要

Demand by canadian executives for productivity improvements in their businesses will drive a 4.3 per cent increase in spending on IT infrastructure, applications and employee training this year, market research firm IDC Canada predicted. The findings are a result of a survey of 100 C-level executives selected from the Financial Post's group of 800 companies, which was conducted between November and December. While productivity has been a "hot issue" among this group for the last three years, it is a much more dominant theme in 2005, said IDC Canada chief research officer Denis Vance.
