France ICT Budget and Staffing Trends in Enterprise ICT Investment Plans to 2013

This premium report, compiled and published by Kable, presents the findings from a survey of 153 French enterprises regarding their Information & Communication Technology (ICT) budgets and staff allocation. The survey investigates how ICT companies in France currently allocate their ICT budgets across the core areas of enterprise ICT spend, namely hardware, software, ICT services, communications and consulting.

The purpose of the report is to provide a depth of insight into ICT vendors’ and service providers’ potential customers in the French market. Kable has invested significant resources in order to interview an exhaustive range of ICT decision makers in France about their ICT procurement strategies, leading to the production of a premium ICT report that few other ICT analyst houses will be able to match for the breadth of its respondent panel.



Kable’s survey shows that enterprise ICT spending in France is anticipated to follow a moderate upward trend despite persisting economic weakness in the Euro zone, with 31% of French enterprises likely to increase their ICT budget slightly in 2013. The number of French companies forecasting a decrease in their ICT budgets will remain low in 2013. Overall, the French enterprise ICT market for business and purchases of technology goods and advanced IT services is growing at a modest pace and this is set to continue in 2013.
