Key Market Issues
Kable believes that with the Eurozone facing a tough economic environment, the growth of the Swiss economy could be impacted as the countries in this region are major trading partners for Switzerland. Consequently, Swiss enterprises are predicting only moderate growth in their ICT spending in 2013.
Investment in data centers is the key area of focus for enterprises in Switzerland as they look to improve their broader ICT infrastructures and data operations.
It is evident from the survey that the ICT budget allocation for specialist outsourcers is expected to fall in 2013 compared to 2012, reaffirming the fact that enterprises are looking to increase their spending on internal project development and management .
Kable's survey indicates that the largest proportion of technical staff have been employed on service support and help desks, since this function enables enterprises to eliminate down time and increase the operational effectiveness of ICT systems.
Swiss enterprises spend a significant portion of their total telecommunications budgets on establishing and maintaining their voice (both fixed and mobile) infrastructure.
Key Highlights
Hardware will remain on top of enterprises' priority lists in 2013, with percentage of the ICT budget allocated to this category is higher (30%) compared to in 2012 (27%).
Swiss enterprises are raising their budget allocation for systems integrators and local resellers by 1% in 2013, as they are keen to take on some large scale ICT deployments.
Kable's survey shows that, Swiss enterprises' hardware budgets are dominated by spending on client computing and network and communications equipment, with average allocations of 19% and 16% respectively.
The average allocation of software budgets in Swiss enterprises is mainly centered on software licenses (41%), driven by applications such as CRM, ERP, document management, content management, e-procurement, systems security software, e-Government, and e-Health solutions.
