There has been little good news about the economy lately, particularly on the jobs front. NewIn-Statresearch, however, shows that Enterprise business spending on IT and telecom services, which include cloud computing, wireless, wireline voice, wireline data, and business IP/VoIP, will move in a positive direction in 2011, increasing a healthy 6% over 2010.

“There will be positive growth across all 20 verticals with education and healthcare and social services leading the surge with growth of 10% and 9% respectively,” says Greg Potter, Analyst. “These increases in spending are across all product groups except wireline voice which will decline by about half a percent.”

Additional data includes:

• Enterprise spending on public cloud computing services is set to expand 139% from 2010 to 2011.
• Enterprise spending on wireless data is set to approach $17 billion in 2015.
• Enterprise spending in the healthcare sector on wireline data will approach 2 billion in 2014.
• Enterprise spending on wireline voice will remain flat, with traditional TDM services continuing their decline, only reaching $3.4 billion in 2011.
