What's still kicking? Demand-side indicators. Vol. 1

I though it beneficial to mention from time to time where the demand for consulting services appears to be. This is purely a reflection of our clients' inquiries but it is an indicator of sorts.

In the course of the past couple of weeks, we had a couple of large clients inquire about the Media and Entertainment sector. The inquiry was for a quick market assessment study (IT spending, major initiatives, trends, etc.). It seems to be one of the healthier sectors out there today. Here is a quick snapshot:

The greatest relative positive difference vs. other industries is in Telecom and network managed services spending and investments into upgrading security environments. Other areas of focus for M&E firms seem to be: defining a long-term strategy for IT risk and compliance, expanding IT business value, CRM implementations, investment into technologies enabling Web 2.0 and VOD, social computing.
