Who Uses the Global Economic and Information Technology
Market Forecasts, 2004-2009 Report?
IT Product and Services Vendors
- Senior executives -
Use the Global
report as a concise reference to global IT markets; as a source of data to
evaluate their own company's market penetration in countries in which it does
business; and as an information source for speeches, presentations, and
meetings.
- Strategic planners, product planners, and marketing
executives -
Use the Global report to
identify the best markets for their products and services. "Best" may

share, revenue, or profit goals.

- Investors and financial analysts -
Use
the Global report for the same purpose as internal financial staff (but
at the level of investment analysis) to test product or service revenue
projection or market penetration statements made in press releases, at investor
meetings or in annual or quarterly reports.

Use
the Global report to evaluate IT sales and market size projections made
by firms seeking new funding, or by companies in which investments have already

economic analysis and forecasts.
Government Agencies, Ministries and Departments

market performance to that of other countries and regions, and as a source of
