` Israeli software spending is projected at US$1.0bn in 2010, up fromUS$973mn in 2009. The packaged software segment is expected to growat a CAGR of around 7% over the forecast period. Businesses are expectedto remain cautious, deferring investments or looking for 'good enough'solutions to immediate problems. However, there should still be several

growth areas going forward.

` Spending on software is shifting towards the SME segment, which formsthe mainstay of the Israeli business sector. Spending on enterprisesolutions has grown since 2007, with reviving or emerging areas ofopportunity including security, customer relationship management (CRM)

solutions and business intelligence. In terms of verticals, the financial sectorhas been a mainstay of demand, with other key opportunities includingdefense and healthcare.

` The IT services segment is estimated at US$1.6bn in 2010, and this isexpected to grow at a CAGR of 7% over the forecast period to reachUS$2.1bn in 2014. In early 2010, there were reports of a pick-up in the flowof projects, but growth is expected to reach a higher trajectory in the secondhalf of our five-year forecast period.

` Government and defense are two key sectors likely to be a continuedsource of opportunities, because the factors driving spending in each caseare not particularly sensitive to economic vicissitudes. Another key area ofopportunity is healthcare IT. Despite failing to capitalize in the past, Israel is

starting to emerge as a desirable location for packaged applications andlocalization services.
