Key Market Issues

The survey reveals that 56% of manufacturers prefer to procure technologies directly from suppliers, followed by through local resellers and national resellers. Kable believes that local resellers are preferred more than national resellers in large part due to their ease of availability, ability to provide timely support services, and competitive pricing.
In order to respond to global competitive challenges, manufacturers need to devise effective IT strategies. The survey shows that the IT objectives of 'better demonstrate the value of IT to the business' and 'use IT to support revenue growth' are the most important factors influencing manufacturers' IT investment strategies, with average ratings of X on a scale of 1 to 4.
Due to the current economic uncertainty, manufacturers have to deal with constrained budgets, which is forcing the need for an optimum utilisation of resources. As a consequence, raising efficiency is considered to be an important business objective amongst manufacturers.
According to Kable's survey, manufacturers consider price to be the most important criteria when choosing an ICT provider.
The survey shows that a large proportion of manufacturers believe that their ICT infrastructure is somewhat complex, with several enterprise applications, hardware manufacturers, operating systems, and communications technologies.

Key Highlights

According to Kable's survey, 41% of manufacturers are planning to raise their ICT investments in 2013, which is an increase of 7% compared to 2012.
Kable's survey shows that 80% of manufacturers prefer deploying enterprise applications on-site followed by security and content management, as these technologies handle confidential data, and manufacturers want full control over such systems and solutions.
Increasing revenues and customer satisfaction also play a key role, as manufacturers are keen to increase their organic growth and recognise the value of consumer recognition for their products, since it will eventually help to increase their sales lines.
According to Kable's survey, manufacturers consider leading-edge technology to be the most important criteria when choosing an ICT provider with an average rating of X on a scale of 1 to 4.
Manufacturers rate the CIO/IT department and the CEO as the most influential authorities when making ICT purchasing decisions, with both receiving the highest average rating of X on a scale of 1 to 4.

Big Data and Analytics in Government

To realize the true potential(http://www.researchmoz.us/big-data-and-analytics-in-government-current-status-and-future-prospects-report.html) to transform intelligence information from the huge amount of unstructured data, government agencies cannot leverage traditional data management technologies and DB techniques in terms of processing data. To understand patterns that exist in unstructured data, government agencies apply statistical models to large quantities of unstructured data. Since government/public agencies have not traditionally had enough human resources or computational capacity to manage and analyze all of their data, Big Data tools/techniques are essential for government agencies to continue to operate.
