State & Local IT Market Forecast -
Local and State IT Spending and Trends Over the Next Five Years

State & Local IT Market Forecast, 2007-2012

The State & Local IT Market Forecast 2007-2012, analyzes the trends in the state and local information technology (IT) market using a sample of the FY 2008 IT budget request released by governors, mayors, and county commissions coupled with INPUT’s in-depth knowledge and understanding of state and local IT procurement and long-range IT plans to forecast spending trends over the next five years. When forecasting this market, INPUT focuses on local and state IT spending trends related to technology, acquisition processes and regulations that will shape the size and direction of the state and local marketplace.

Key forces currently shaping this market include:

• Surging health care, corrections, and employee-benefits costs driving the need to reduce the rate of public employment growth, particularly at the local level
• Systems consolidation and centralization within enterprise IT divisions with a particular emphasis on data centers and communications capacity
• Implementation of wireless networking technologies for purposes of community development, justice and public safety, and provision of general government services
• Intergovernmental homeland security information-sharing demands, including public safety communications and intelligence fusion centers
• Pending retirement of Boomer-age public-sector workers, driving the adoption of automation technologies, staff augmentation, and outsourcing

INPUT forecasts Demand for vendor-furnished information systems and services by U.S. state and local governments will increase from $43.9 billion in 2007 to $67.2 billion in 2012 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6 percent. INPUT expects overall local and state IT spending to continue to grow as the U.S. population continues to grow. Moreover, the federal government will cede more domestic programmatic responsibilities to the states and localities as it focuses on dealing with its budget deficit as well as heightened foreign policy and national security concerns.
