According to a recent IDC study, business consulting will be an area of increasing focus and innovation for services providers, as well as greater user spending. IDC expects worldwide business consulting spending to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9% from 2005-2010. The study attributes this upward forecast primarily to the accelerating convergence of business and IT processes. This increasing link between business and IT is in part causing nearly all general management consultancies (GMCs), advisory firms, and consulting niche players to significantly build up their technology-focused capabilities, intellectual property (IP), and talent.
