Key Market Issues:

-The survey reveals that 56% of manufacturers prefer to procure technologies directly from suppliers, followed by through local resellers and national resellers. Kable believes that local resellers are preferred more than national resellers in large part due to their ease of availability, ability to provide timely support services, and competitive pricing.
-In order to respond to global competitive challenges, manufacturers need to devise effective IT strategies. The survey shows that the IT objectives of 'better demonstrate the value of IT to the business' and 'use IT to support revenue growth' are the most important factors influencing manufacturers' IT investment strategies, with average ratings of X on a scale of 1 to 4.
-Due to the current economic uncertainty, manufacturers have to deal with constrained budgets, which is forcing the need for an optimum utilisation of resources. As a consequence, raising efficiency is considered to be an important business objective amongst manufacturers.
