IT services market research for 2008 and forecasts for 2009
According to IDC, the volume of the Russian IT services market in 2008 exceeded $ 5.22 billion, which corresponds to an annual increase of 18.7%. In ruble terms, the same indicator was 15.4%. The largest consumers of IT services in Russia in 2008 were government organizations (19.2% of the total costs of IT services in the country), as well as financial (16.9%), telecommunications (13%) and energy (12, 9%) of the company. The most popular were systems integration services, which accounted for more than 20% of the market.
The slowdown in the development of the Russian economy in the second half of 2008 led to a significant reduction in expenditures on information technology in general, which could not but affect the state of the IT services market.
According to IDC forecasts, the IT services market expects a significant decline: the lowest figures will fall in 2009, after which the market will begin to recover slowly. Most companies will postpone the introduction of large projects, and those that are still engaged in new projects are likely to prefer smaller solutions. By 2013, according to IDC estimates, the volume of the Russian IT services market will amount to $ 4.73 billion.
The crisis will have the least impact on those IT services, without which customers simply cannot do, as well as those that will bring them tangible cost savings in the short term or will help expand their business. These services include IT consulting (in particular, services for evaluating the cost effectiveness of IT infrastructure and ensuring its security), as well as various forms of outsourcing.

“The recession will not last forever, which is why IT service providers should take advantage of a lull in order to reconsider their solutions portfolio and to have new competitive offers in place by the time the market returns to normal,” said Alexander Prokhorov, market leading analyst for IDC IT services.
One of the preparatory measures may also be the recruiting of rare specialists, some of whom are ready to change jobs due to changed conditions. When the IT services market begins to recover - and according to IDC forecasts, this should happen as early as next year - the suppliers will be staffed with qualified personnel capable of providing their employers with competitive advantages.
