IT in Italy

According to the report Assinform, the computer industry in 2009 decreased by 8,1%, while telecommunications recede by 2.3%.

The long wave of crisis strikes even on the shores of Information and Communication Technology.

And Italy is no exception: the first report data Assinform edited by NetConsulting pleasantries without describing the state sector in the peninsula: the ITC shall register an overall negative trend of 4.2% in 2009.
The report informs us that last year the business of the ICT market in Italy was 62 million euros.

Doubtful even software & services (-5.6%) and technical assistance (-5%). Among the programs there is no category showing no minus sign: application to -4.1%, -2% middleware, system software falling by 4.6%.
The crisis services, however, threatens several highly qualified professional, as evidenced by the numbers for the training (-8.8%) and consulting (7%).

I am a witness to the crisis, my company is cutting 2,150 professionals in the name of a false restructuring, moving into a smaller company that at best will have 3 years of life.

IT is always understood as an expense by management not as a benefit or a sector that benefits a company.

For this reason, cuts are made, badget are reduced to limit the cost, but for a Technology Company as Telecom Italia S.p.A. this will mean to go into Business failure.

To the next post.
