The market dynamics on the Continent are decidedly different from the US. In the US nearly 90% of TV households subscribe to a cable or satellite TV service, while in Europe just 53% do. But all that may be changing, quickly. See why in this new Europe Digital TV spotlight report.
The IT and E-Business in Canada spotlight report analyzes why it is time for Canadian businesses to move beyond basic e-mail communications and e-commerce by investing in more advanced e-business solutions.
Up to now, Canadian companies have been reluctant to spend on IT and Internet technology due to the complexity of the solutions, as well as a shortage of skilled IT labor to implement and maintain them. Several decision-makers also say that the cost of e-business solutions remains too high, noting that it is preferable for them to continue doing business using traditional methods, rather than risk implementing an e-business solution with an uncertain return on investment.
But after nearly three years of sluggish IT spending growth, Canadian companies are finally increasing their spending on new technology.

- To what extent have Canadian companies adopted more advanced e-business solutions?
