  3. ΠΙΣΤΟΠΟΙΗΣΗ ΠΟΙΟΤΗΤΑΣ ISO 9001 ΣΥΜΒΟΥΛΕΥΤΙΚΩΝ ΥΠΗΡΕΣΙΩΝ Examining the downturn - Is the trend reversing? • The growth of the commercial Internet brought about important one-off investments whichwill not be repeated in the next few years. • Y2K concerns moved forward hardware and software replacement cycles. • Stock market excesses financed the high-tech investment boom, but after that the bubble hasburst, investors are more cautious. • Unrealistic expectations of future demand compounded by a glut in supply, for example theover-building of installed fiber-optic capacity.

  4. Factors driving future demand • Demand for software is strong, particularly for optimising systems and infrastructure, as wellas for integrating different applications (e.g. e-business). Industry projections suggest thatoutsourcing and IT services will also benefit from this growth trend (UBS, 2002), despite thefact that the IT services market suffered its first year of decline during 2002 (Gartner, 2003). • Security concerns are an increasing priority for firms of all sizes. • Open source / Linux are becoming viable business alternatives. • Demand for storage (hardware and software) is likely to increase. • Broadband demand from both households and businesses continues to grow and newapplication such as WiFi will spur new demand (OECD, 2003b). • e-learning and other e- state initiatives (e-health, e-procurement etc) are driving new businesses
