TechMarketView Research Round-up

There’s no prizes for guessing the big story last week – nor for who was the most quoted commentator in the media! TechMarketView chairman, Richard, Holway, was in huge demand for his sage opinion on Autonomy (ex-CEO) Mike Lynch’s sacking from a deeply troubled HP. Holway was quoted in no fewer than four articles in each of the Financial Times and The Times, along with extensive coverage in the trade press. But the highlight was Holway’s star turn on Thursday’s BBC News at Ten. Of course, you’ll find the stories first on UKHotViews – just start here and work back!

Meanwhile, the TechMarketView research team have been pumping out insightful research on the UK software and IT services (SITS) scene.

Make sure you didn’t miss Angela Eager’s analysis of the opportunities for SITS players in the Social Media space in Social media: the business imperative. Social media is one of the key ‘disruptors’ in the market and will be a recurring theme in all our research.

The hot topic in the UK public sector is SIAM (Service Integration & Management), which many within UK central government see as the best way to handle a multi service provider environment. Georgina O’Toole discusses recent developments and considers the implications in Independent SIAM: What's it all about? Georgina also gives her usual trenchant opinion on the Government’s endeavours to make it easier for SMEs to do business in the UK public sector. You can gauge progress for yourselves in SMEs in Government: The ICT picture.

Plus you can find extended analysis of some of the major stories first published on UKHotViews in UKHotViews Extra.

But need we tell you that all of this is only available to eligible TechMarketView subscription service clients. We have just finished out third trading year (see TechMarketView LLP celebrates), which sees practically every major SITS player in the UK market among our client base, as well as many smaller organisations and others acting as advisers to, or investors in the market. The TechMarketView team seems to be accepted as one of the most knowledgeable and ‘well connected’ around. Certainly nobody could argue that we are also one of the most influential.

So, don’t be left out in the cold. If you want to understand more about the things that really matter in the UK SITS scene, please contact Deborah Seth.
