Catch up on TechMarketView’s research activity

It’s here! TechMarketView’s much awaited assessment and forecasts for the UK software and IT services market is now available. UK SITS Market Trends and Forecasts – 2012 may not make the most comfortable of reading given the possibility that the UK SITS market could be heading for a decade of market recession, but it is essential nonetheless. Subscribers can access the report here and download the accompanying spreadsheet here.

Not content with publishing one of our anchor reports, the TechMarketView team has been busy elsewhere. Managing partner Anthony Miller produced two further IndustryViews reports: Venture Capital – Q1 2012, containing the latest on VC acquisition activity, and Corporate Activity Review – Q1 2012, which looks at what is happening on the M&A and private equity side of the market.

As usual the team has been busy assessing the impact of the latest news on the UK market and its suppliers, with HotViewsExtra reports from ESASViews Research Director Angela Eager on Microsoft’s acquisition of social media platform provider Yammer (here), and its integrated IaaS/PaaS plans for its Azure platform (here). InfrastructureViews lead Phil Codling looked under the covers of 2e2 following the release of their full year results (see here).

The broadsheets continue to turn to the TechMarketView team for insight and comment. The Financial Times called on managing partner Anthony Miller and reported on our UK SITS market findings. The Times looked to chairman Richard Holway for his views on rumours of a 7in Apple iPad, and to Phil Codling for thoughts on RIMs latest bad news. A little earlier in June The Times quoted Angela Eager and BPS research director John O’Brien in its (separate) Big Data and Outsourcing supplements.

As usual, our views were also sought by the trade press. Highlights include Information Age, ComputerWeekly and CRN who all picked up on the UK SITS Market Trends and Forecasts  - 2012 report, with Anthony Miller’s opinions much in demand. CRN issued a video, featuring Phil Codling discussing BYOT developments. Information Age, ehealth insider and ComputerWorld sought director Tola Sargent’s views on moves within the NHS regarding the lack of progress on electronic patient records, and renegotiations with CSC. Fellow director Georgina O’Toole appeared in CloudPro and PublicTechnology.net with her thoughts on the importance of big data in the public sector. IT Pro and CloudPro quoted Angela Eager on the implications of the European Court of Justice ruling on second hand software licence sales.
