Book Description
IDC's Gulf States Commercial Systems and Servers 2004-2008 Forecast and 2003 Vendor Shares study provides detailed analysis of and forecasts (2004-2008) for the dynamics of six countries (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar) for commercial systems and technical workstations. The information in this study provides an understanding of the changes and challenges facing the IT industry in this emerging market. Our 2003 figures and analysis are based on information obtained from interviews with the leading computer system companies (vendors, distributors, assemblers, system integrators, value-added resellers, and dealers) in the market.
"With the pattern of investment shifting towards smaller and medium enterprises with limited financial means and basic computing needs, volume servers will be the most dynamic segment in this region in the coming years. Competition between x86 and RISC will continue to propel the market, driving down ASPs. Growth in the increasingly technology dependent economy, governments' commitment to the development of IT in both the public and private sector, and heightened competition among vendors will be the key drivers of the market." - Roshana Rehan, Research Analyst, IDC Middle East
