Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio's IT Services team said: ''In the current scenario, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) worldwide are progressively adopting IT in order to sustain growth and avoid being acquired by large corporations or competitors. Stable demand for IT from SMEs has been experienced globally. There has been increased investment in IT services by SMEs, which have been increasing their spending on their IT support and service infrastructure. With SMEs representing a growth opportunity, major IT firms such as HP and IBM (News - Alert) are leveraging their capabilities in the SME segment. In the current scenario, the IT firms are keen to grab the business opportunities arising from SMEs.
