IDC's annual Predictions are designed to identify and highlight key trends and pivotal choices facing the IT and Telecom industry in the year ahead. The predictions draw upon existing IDC research and its focus embrace not only global predictions but also Latina America ones.

1. Latin America's IT market will resist the test of a receding global economy.

2. The individual becomes king: The compound effect of multiple technologies and devices will put the user at center stage.
3. Voice communications shift from technology-centric to end-user centric.

4. The concept of the Office-based employee will begin to transform.

5. SaaS: 2008, a year of transition for large vendors and opportunity for local ISV's.

6. A new breed of open source solutions emerges as open-source is no longer 'just Linux'.

7. The Security market place: Less technical issues and more business concerns.

8. Business Process Management Software: ready for its launch.

9. The Dynamic IT evolution: Virtualization 2.0 transforms hardware into services.

10. The domino effect of off-shoring competition creates a second wave of growth for BPO.
