Abstract
In this IT spending forecast report, Manufacturing Insights provides an overview of the developments of IT investments in Western European discrete manufacturing.
- Beginning with an overview of trends and business environment affecting the major manufacturing subindustries, the report explores the changes in major drivers and directions in IT adoption in the discrete manufacturing industry in Western Europe.
- On the quantitative side, the focus is on spending in hardware, packaged software, and IT services for the major European countries (Germany, France, the U.K., Italy, Spain, and other Western Europe) in 2007-2011.
- The following discrete manufacturing industries are considered: automotive; aerospace; industrial machinery; electronics and electrical goods; printing and publishing; wearing apparel, leather, and leather products; and other discrete.
"As we enter 2008, several factors threaten business expectations. Oil prices are near the $100 per barrel level and the euro continues to fluctuate at its highest levels," said Pierfrancesco Manenti, EMEA research director at Manufacturing Insights, an IDC Company. "However, Manufacturing Insights believes that the pressing issues and opportunities coming from the global competitive scene should translate into higher investment in information technology. In fact, IT is today considered by manufacturing organizations as an enabler of business excellence and competitive advantages."
