Debating the outlook for IT services spending in 2008-Are we heading for a major slowdown or pockets of minor correction?

Questions about the extent of slowing in IT services spending that might be experienced in 2008 are currently dominating the thinking of the IT service industry. The goal of this webinar is to analyze both sides of the debate on the impact of US economic challenges on IT services spending. Everest and Bernstein analysts will take sides and make their cases for both pessimistic and optimistic views.

Will 2008 bring a “dropping off a cliff” type of a slowdown, as in early 2000s timeframe, or has the IT services industry entered a new era in which cyclical challenges can be overcome?

You will learn the following:

• The case for both pessimistic and optimistic points of view on 2008 IT services spending
• IT services segments most likely to be affected by cyclical challenges
• The lessons from prior slowdowns and factors that are different in the current era compared to the past
