The Economic Downturn
The Economic Downturn
2009 - In the Headlines…
How will Economic Downturn Impact the Canadian ICT Industry?
Marginal impact to date, minimal in the next 12 months
ICT is an enabler
Potential slippage in certain geographic and vertical markets US, UK Automotive, Energy, Mining sectors
Implications for vendors Longer sales cycles Some price discounting Increase sales and marketing spend Focus on innovation Continue to diversify
THE CANADIAN ICT INDUSTRY INCREASED REVENUE BY 18% IN
2008
Companies Can Succeed in Difficult Times!
The early-1980’s: Slow money supply growth and high interest rates cause economy to slow
Interest rates rise to a peak of 21% in August 1981 18 companies on the 2009 Branham300 founded!
E.g. Compugen, OnX Enterprise Solutions, Coretec
The early-1990’s Interest rates spike (high – 14.05%) US was also experiencing recession – severely hurt Canadian exports 25 companies on the 2009 Branham300 founded!
E.g. Teranet, Platform Computing, Dundas Data Visualization
Dot-Com Meltdown 39 companies on the 2009 Branham300 founded!
E.g. Brainhunter, TeraGo Networks, Ideaca Knowledge Services
IT has overcome adversity before, remember?
THE GROWTH Nearly half-a-decade of record setting growth, surging
stocks prices (leading to overvalued companies), and free spending
THE BURST NASDAQ (tech dominated exchange) fell 39% in 2000! Total market value of technology firms declined
approx. $5 trillion US between March 2000 and October 2002
THE RECOVERY Survival of the fittest Canadian ICT Industry achieves five consecutive years of growth
