TechMarketView in the Press

The last few weeks has seen a flurry of activity at TechMarketView culminating in our ‘big night out’ which took place on 26^th June in the form of Make or Break: An Evening with TechMarketView. Hot on the heels of this we launched our two flagship reports; UK Software & IT Services Market Trends & Forecasts 2013, and UK Software & IT Services Rankings 2013.

These reports generated a buzz of media interest with articles appearing in a range of publications. In ComputerWorldUK’s article ‘UK outsourcing market to decline, opportunities for SMEs to grow’, for example, TechMarketView was quoted as saying ‘despite the difficult market, there is a "golden opportunity” for SMEs to snatch business from larger players.’ While ChannelWebUK’s article ‘Cloud is shrinking IT service Market’ picked up on the idea that software and IT services providers could soon be left out of pocket by the move to the cloud.

On a different tack, Richard Holway was quoted in Computing’s article on Google's Waze acquisition, saying there should not be an antitrust probe. He made another appearance in Murad Ahmed’s report in The Times on whether Facebook has reached its peak.

On another hot topic, Richard was quoted in CRN Channel Web UK article ‘See Your Way Clear’, proclaiming 2014 to be the ‘year of wearable computing’.

Elsewhere, Anthony Miller was quoted in the Financial Times article ‘Blur Group jumps 25% after securing record tender’ and in the ComputerWorldUK article ‘UK SaaS provider SocialGo on the way out’, where he commented that the new funding is a desperate attempt to keep SocialGo afloat.

Anthony is also quoted in the TechWorld article, ‘Recruitment tech start-ups get boost from investors’, offering a sceptical opinion on yet another recruitment app appearing in the market.

Also in ComputerWorldUK, in their article ‘Gartner block highlights 'increasing momentum' of government's reform agenda’, PublicSectorViews research director, Georgina O’Toole, claims that ICT suppliers should see this as a signal not to work against government IT and procurement reforms. Georgina was also quoted in ComputerWorldUK on the Ministry of Justice putting a halt to £300m PC support contract. Further controversy was reported in UKAuthority.com article Public sector IT world mystified by OFT investigation as TechMarketView were quoted saying that the announcement would “set the cat among the pigeons”.

And finally in the TechWorld article ‘Can the UK create a billion-dollar company when Silicon Valley giants prey on its best start-ups?’, Richard Holway is cited throughout giving his opinion on whether London can produce a billion dollar company or not. You decide if you agree with his pessimistic view or not!
