The State & Local IT Market, 2007-2012 INPUT expects demand for vendor-furnished information systems and services by U.S. state and local governments will increase from $43.9 billion in 2007 to $67.2 billion in 2012. Steady U.S. population growth will result in increased service demands on state and local governments. Moreover, the federal government will cede more domestic programmatic responsibilities to the states and localities. Savvy VARs will approach this market from a variety of angles oriented toward the technology and programmatic trends at the state and local levels. |

IT Procurement in State & Local Government INPUT recognizes that the confusing and nuanced variations among state and local procurement processes is a daunting, but not insurmountable, task for IT vendors. Fortunately, the overall levels of professionalism, consistency, and transparency of these procurement processes have been steadily increasing, making this market more accessible to more vendors than ever before. Savvy VARs will learn to capture lessons learned from each bidding experience and build a knowledge base that provides a competitive advantage. |
