TechMarketView – March review

Following our second annual Little British Battlers event in February, TechMarketView’s team of analysts ‘put pen to paper’ to synthesise their views on those companies that took part. Just 12 were picked from a long list of almost 100 to pitch to us. Read our analysis of these businesses - see Little British Battlers - Q1 2013) - and stay tuned for more on how the programme is to evolve. 

Besides our work with the Little British Battlers, analysts continued to produce analysis across all research areas. In InfrastructureViews, Kate Hanaghan published "Make or Break": How will the IT support services firms outside the top tier fare in 2013? and Could cloud help telecoms providers achieve a break-through in the UK infrastructure services market?

BusinessProcessViews Research Director, John O’Brien published his in-depth and highly anticipated General insurance BPS opportunities in a rapidly changing market. In the Public Sector stream, Georgina O’Toole published her latest analysis of the players in the Defence market: UK Defence SITS supplier landscape 2013.

As ever, TechMarketView analysts were called on by the media to comment on industry and market events. Our views on the demise of 2e2 and the subsequent fallout have been widely covered in the media. Microscope quoted Anthony Miller regarding Logicalis’ purchase of 2e2’s European operations. Likewise, TechMarketView was quoted in articles in Computerworld UK and CRN on Capita’s move to take on 2e2's Barnet Council contract.

Our views on the implications of the budget for the tech sector were covered in TechWorld, while The Register covered the launch of Kate Hanaghan’s IT support services report (mentioned above). ZDNet quoted Richard Holway in an article on Raspberry Pi manufacturing moving back to the UK. ZDNet also quoted Angela Eager in an article on SaaS cloud pricing.

A fair amount of coverage was given to TechMarketView in The Times, with Richard Holway being quoted in articles on the end of Logica, the reshuffle of management at Google (here and here), and Samsung Galaxy S4’s challenge to the iPhone. Richard’s views were also captured by Computerworld UK, which features his commentary on Fujitsu’s £800m UK pension payment.
