- Canadian Economy—Corporate profits, business investment, job growth, and government revenues will all feel the pinch from the fall in oil prices. In turn, this will negatively affect firms’ and governments’ intentions to invest on IT upgrades and new technologies this year.
- Exports—Thanks to stronger economic growth in the U.S., the private and public sectors will have more room to make large investments in IT systems, thereby boosting the industry’s exports.
- Open Source Software—With the growing number of firms offering commercial support for open source platforms and value-added services, we expect to see increased interest for this type of software among Canadian firms.
