Key Market Issues
Kable believes that with the Eurozone facing a tough economic environment, the growth of the Swiss
economy could be impacted as the countries in this region are major trading partners for Switzerland.
Consequently, Swiss enterprises are predicting only moderate growth in their ICT spending in 2013.
Investment in data centers is the key area of focus for enterprises in Switzerland as they look to improve their
broader ICT infrastructures and data operations. It is evident from the survey that the ICT budget allocation
for specialist outsourcers is expected to fall in 2013 compared to 2012, reaffirming the fact that enterprises are
looking to increase their spending on internal project development and management . Kable's survey indicates
that the largest proportion of technical staff have been employed on service support and help desks, since this
function enables enterprises to eliminate down time and increase the operational effectiveness of ICT systems.
Swiss enterprises spend a significant portion of their total telecommunications budgets on establishing and
maintaining their voice (both fixed and mobile) infrastructure.
Key Highlights
Hardware will remain on top of enterprises' priority lists in 2013, with percentage of the ICT budget

budget allocation for systems integrators and local resellers by 1% in 2013, as they are keen to take on some
large scale ICT deployments. Kable's survey shows that, Swiss enterprises' hardware budgets are dominated
by spending on client computing and network and communications equipment, with average allocations of
19% and 16% respectively. The average allocation of software budgets in Swiss enterprises is mainly centered
on software licenses (41%), driven by applications such as CRM, ERP, document management, content
management, e-procurement, systems security software, e-Government, and e-Health solutions. The survey
shows that Swiss enterprises are spending a major portion of their IT services budgets on application
development and integration, with average allocation of 19%.
