Industry Insight:
State of the States 2009: Initiatives and Implications (Apr 2009)
The INPUT State of the States 2009 Industry Insights report delivers detailed analysis on the governors' 2009 state of the state addresses to provide vendors with the insight they need to align their technology solutions to policy trends
Description
INPUT's States of the States 2009 report, delivered in PowerPoint format for ready use, is ideal for companies looking to get ahead of the curve with policymakers. By understanding your state and local prospects' goals and priorities, you can tailor your products and solutions toward overarching business needs rather than technology niches, and optimize your pursuit strategy and tactics.
This year 48 governors have given their state of the state speeches in which they detail their policy priorities for the coming year. These speeches provide vendors the first opportunity to align their technology solutions to policy trends.
Despite the economic downturn, Governors proposed over a thousand new initiatives. Nearly all of these speeches were delivered prior to the announcement of federal economic stimulus money, so these initiatives will provide insight as to where states will likely spend money freed up by the federal injection.
The report organizes the governors' IT priorities around twelve vertical market segments (several related verticals have been combined):
- Community Development
- Economic Development/Regulation
- Education (Primary/Secondary & Higher)
- General Government Services & Public Finance
- Health Care
- Justice/Public Safety & Homeland Security
- Natural Resources/Environment
- Social Services (including Employment)
- Transportation
As the announced priorities come to market, they will be tracked in INPUT's State & Local Opportunities database.
