- Boom in Demand—Output has expanded at an average annual pace of 5.4 per cent over the last five years. Continuous development of new computer products has supported software development and related services, helping to offset the effects of a sluggish domestic economy.
- Small IT Firms—A strong pace of innovation has allowed for greater specialization and lower barriers to entry. The result is a rise in the number of small IT firms, though these firms are at risk when large companies ramp up their spending.
