The Public Sector IT Market: A Rapidly Growing, Dynamic Marketplace Federal and state & local government IT spending has shown a steady increase throughout the 21st century. In fiscal year 2010 the public sector spent $133 billion on IT products and services—$80 billion on federal IT spending and more than $50 billion in state & local government IT spending. With a year-over-year growth rate of 4%, the total government IT spending is forecasted to grow to nearly $190 billion by fiscal year 2015. This represents a huge opportunity for technology companies that are interested in tapping into the enormous and lucrative public sector IT market. Increased Complexity and Bottom-Line Results

Top 3 Technology Priorities at Government Agencies: 1) Increase security 2) Increase operational efficiency / productivity 3) Data/knowledge management

-2010 Buying Study

Government IT is mission critical to government leaders. While technology initiatives have increased in scope and complexity, technology investments must deliver tangible business results. These decision-makers must now show the business value of technology investments and programs. Technology is increasingly used as the tool to help government IT decision-makers decrease costs and achieve the goals of their agency. Buying Plans Government IT decision-makers have embraced technology, relying on it to drive new initiatives and make programs run more efficiently. This is reflected in the extent to which government is investing in technology products and services: the mean personal budget influence per respondent is over $7.2 million, with services representing the most important driver of government IT spending, followed by networking services, and networking/communications. Fifty-three percent of respondents indicate that they anticipate increased spending on IT products and services in FY 2011 when compared to 2010. Market Challenges There are key challenges facing public sector markets.

55% report restrictions on meeting with technology vendors / contractors

-2010 Buying Study

On the federal side, budget deficits are growing, more robust performance goals are being set by the administration, the federal workforce is experiencing shortages, technology is being used as the linchpin for improved federal operations and acquisition reform goals are introducing more transparency. State & local market challenges include state budget deficits of $122 billion in FY 2011, policy priorities driving spending and demographics driving revenue growth and service demand.

Technology Challenges The public sector has key technology challenges including integration and management of disparate, large-scale IT systems and programs with unparalleled scope and complexity. IT professionals must adhere to unique technical requirements and deliver on government mandates. The Collaborative Government IT Buying Team Today’s results-oriented focus on IT purchasing has created a highly collaborative government IT buying team. Executive decision-makers, IT decision-makers, program managers and systems integrators play pivotal roles in deciding what products, services and solutions are purchased to help achieve results and meet agency missions. The Year-Long Buying Cycle The focus on large programs and mission-based solutions drives year-round technology buying. To succeed in the growing, dynamic and increasingly competitive government IT market, technology vendors must offer more than just great products and services. To secure sales, IT vendors must target strategic messages to business and technology decision-makers in each stage of the process.

Technology news and reviews are critical types of information and content that respondents rely on when making IT purchasing decisions, along with information on government policies/ legislation and research reports. -2010 Buying Study

The Intersection between Federal and State & Local The intersection between federal and state & local governments continues to grow. IGTs, or Intergovernmental Transfers, involve federal funding for state & local programs, which then flows to localities. Federal and state & local governments collaborate on anti-terrorism programs, cybersecurity partnerships, data sharing and providing service to the citizen. Information is Power: Government IT Professionals Require Diverse and Dynamic Sources for Information Today’s government IT decision-makers need to keep up with rapidly evolving government, business and technology issues, mandates and programs. They rely on multiple sources of information to provide them with the news, analysis and insight they need to perform their jobs effectively and efficiently. 1105 Government Information Group’s targeted media programs across multiple mediums present the best forums for reaching and engaging public sector IT buyers.
