TechMarketView research update

TechMarketView’s analyst team has been busy once again over the past fortnight, publishing a raft of quality research and analysis, on a broad range of hot topics, for our eligible subscription service clients.

Phil Codling, infrastructure services research director, published a company note on Accenture’s plans to embrace BYOT across the business, and what challenges and opportunities this presents (see Accenture: taking the BYOT medicine). As Hot Views readers will know BYOT is white hot right now, so this is a must-read test case. Managing partner Anthony Miller meanwhile, continued with his analysis of Logica’s troubles after missing its full year 2011 margin target by some way (see Logica’s margin challenge – 2012).

Since our last update (see A fortnight in the life of TechMarketView), we have published a further 50+ Hot Views comments, taking our monthly tally to just shy of 100. And there are still a few days left in March. But TMV subscribers have been able to get deeper insight behind the key stories in HotViewsExtra.

Director Tola Sargeant provided further analysis on Health Secretary Andrew Lansley’s announced £1.8bn cuts across NHS IT, and outlined the implications for suppliers to the sector (see NHS IT: Fresh opportunities despite ‘£1.8bn cuts’). Research director John O’Brien spokoe to Sean Riddell, CEO of leading GP systems supplier EMIS and assessed his plans to expand further in 2012 (see EMIS delivers healthy full year (update)). Meanwhile, infrastructure services research director Phil Codling, spoke with Mike Norris, CEO of Computacenter, to assess his views on the consumerisation of IT and ‘bring your own technology’ (see Computacenter: benefitting from infrastructure service fragmentation).

As usual much of our commentary has been picked up by the media. Among the most notable, director Georgina O’Toole was quoted in PC Advisor, ContractorUK for her analysis of the Budget’s impact on the UK IT sector; Phil Codling was quoted by PC Advisor and The Register on Computacenter’s decision to pull out of a loss-making ITS deal at Cumbria County Council. Meanwhile, Angela Eager, research director for enterprise applications and applications services (ESAS), was quoted in Computing on the collapsed Misys/Temenos merger; ComputerWorld on Oracle’s Q3 performance, and PersonnelToday on Oracle’s acquisition of HR software vendor Taleo.

Over the next few weeks we will be publishing many more reports and notes. So if you’re not yet a subscriber Deb Seth will be very happy to hear from you!
