This publication has been discontinued on June 28, 2011.

Introduction

Abstract

This Government Insights report includes a macro view of the economic stimulus and budget initiatives announced between August 2008 and April 2009 across various the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ markets, and the key public-sector subverticals and themes of interest.

The global economic crisis in the last quarter of 2008 has propelled governments in the APEJ region to unveil economic stimulus packages and expansionary budgets aimed at "softening" the impact of the economic crisis and at accelerating spending on building key national infrastructures.

"While not all economic stimulus plans include technology-specific allocations, this additional public-sector spending remains welcome news for technology vendors," says Gerald Wang, market analyst, Government Insights Asia/Pacific. "The report serves as a guide to public-sector CIOs seeking to optimize technology selection and implementation strategies. Additionally, the report highlights how IT vendors can best engage with the public sector and plan the best business strategies to pursue new revenues from this significant opportunity generated by economic stimulus initiatives."
