Federal IT Market Annual Forecast -
Federal IT Spending and Trends Over the Next Five Years

Federal IT Market Forecast, 2007-2012

The Federal IT Market Forecast 2007- 2012 provides a comprehensive analysis of the US Federal Government expenditures on information technology (IT) products and services. This report analyzes federal trends in the federal IT market using the FY 2008 IT budget request recently released by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) coupled with INPUT’s in-depth analysis of federal IT procurements and long-range IT plans to forecast federal IT spending trends over the next five years. When forecasting this market, INPUT focuses on trends related to technology, acquisition processes and regulations that will shape the size and direction of this marketplace.

Key Findings

After a period of relatively unbridled increases in federal IT spending, the market is currently in a cooling off period with spending slowed to historical lows. This cooling off can be attributed to a number of factors: high costs of the War on Terror and protecting the homeland, pressure to balance the budget and agencies' inability to effectively manage projects. Despite these pressures, the elements are in place for federal IT spending growth to resume historical norms beginning in 2009 and through 2012.

Key market forces currently shaping the market include:

• Systems consolidation and centralization
• IT security initiatives
• Lines of Business (LoB) initiatives
• Acquisition Reform

Critical Insight for Vendors

This report provides vendors and other interested parties with a detailed view of federal IT spending and a market forecast for the next five years, and is designed to enhance a vendor’s federal planning process with relevant, strategic analysis and market forecasts.

Using the federal government’s annual budget submissions as a starting point, INPUT draws upon its extensive expertise in the federal market to analyze and forecast federal spending across a broad range of business areas, service modes, and federal agencies and departments. INPUT also examines the political landscape, trends, and market drivers that will influence the course of federal IT spending over the next several years.
