INDEX 5 THE ICT SECTOR IN ITALY DER ICT MARKT Italien, mit 58 Millionen Verbrauchern der viertgrößte ICT Markt in Europa, stellt auch auf weltweiter Ebene einen wichtigen Markt dar. Dies haben auch zahlreiche international operierende Unternehmen wie Motorola und Microsoft erkannt, die Italien als Standort für ihre F&E Aktivitäten und für Exzellenzzentren wählten. Im Jahre 2008 verlangsamte sich das Wachstum im ICT Markt stark, wozu vor allem der schwache Informatikmarkt und der negative Trend des Kommunikationsmarktes beigetragen haben. Der ICT-Gesamtmarkt wuchs nur um 0,1% (2007: +0,9%) auf einen Wert von 64,4 Milliarden Euro, wobei der IT Sektor um 0,8% und der Telekommunikationsbereich um 0,2% stiegen. Der nachlassende Wachstumstrend des italienischen ICT Marktes wurde auch in den meisten europäischen Ländern festgestellt und ist auf eine Schwächung des Telekommunikationsbereiches zurückzuführen. Als Hauptursachen für die gedämpften Wachstumsraten des ICT Sektors gelten vor allem die Unterschiedlichkeit und die Komplexität der Technologien, sowie die Entwicklung der digitalen Wirtschaft. In Bezug auf den Telekommunikationsbereich ist zu erwähnen, dass dieser für verschiedene Länder von unterschiedlicher Bedeutung ist, besonders Italien und Deutschland werden hier gegenüber Frankreich benachteiligt. Obwohl die Ausgaben für ICT Technologie im Vergleich zu den vergangenen Jahren weniger stark gewachsen sind, sind italienische Familien nach wie vor geneigt, ICT Produkte zu kaufen und zu nutzen. Die Verbreitung von ICT Technologien hat zwar in den letzten drei Jahren stark zugenommen, dennoch liegt diese in Italien noch immer unter dem europäischen Durchschnitt. DER IT MARKT: HARDWARE, SOFTWARE UND DIENSTLEISTUNGEN Der italienische IT Markt litt besonders unter der negativen wirtschaftlichen Situation 2008. In diesem Jahr erzielte der italienische IT Markt einen Umsatz von 20.343 Millionen Euro, was nur eine marginale Steigerung von 0,8% gegenüber den 20.190 Millionen Euro des Jahres 2007 darstellte. (Noch 2007 stieg der IT Markt um 2% gegenüber dem Vorjahreswert.) Gründe für das geringe Wachstum sind sowohl die Herabsetzung des IT Budgets in zahlreichen italienischen Unternehmen, als auch die zunehmenden wirtschaftlichen Schwierigkeiten italienischer Familien, die sich in Form einer sinkenden Nachfrage auf dem IT Markt wiedergespiegelt haben. Darüber hinaus drosselte auch die öffentliche Hand ihre IT-Ausgaben. Einer der Hauptgründe für die geringe Steigerung war der negative Trend des Hardwaremarkts von -0,2% (2007: +4,8%), der die Nachfrage nach Desktop PCs, Notebooks und Smart Hand-Held Devices umfasst. Innerhalb des Hardwaresegments verzeichneten vor allem die Bereiche Workstation (-25%), Mainframe (-22,9%), Drucker (-15%) und Storage (-13,5%) die stärksten Rückgänge. Das Segment Hardware und Services beendete 2008 einen dreijährigen positiven Umsatztrend mit einem Rückgang um 0,5% auf 6.518 Millionen Euro, während sich der negative Trend des Vorjahres (2007: -4,1%) im Bereich Services auf -2,5% abschwächte. Grund ist ein Rückgang des Verkaufs von Hardware und Dienstleistungen, in folge eines verstärkten Downpricings, das von dem zunehmenden Vertagen von Projekten und Investitionen seitens italienischer Unternehmen jenes Sektors ausgelöst wurde, das sich allerdings unterschiedlich auf die verschiedenen Marktsegmente ausgewirkt hat. Ein Beispiel hierfür ist das PC Segment, das als einzige Unterbranche im Sektor Hardware seit Jahren einen positiven Trend aufweist und diesen 2008 sowohl im Businessbereich, als auch in der Consumersparte fortsetzte. Die Verkäufe in diesem Marktsegment, das PC Clients, Desktops und Notebooks umfasst, registrierten 2008 im Vergleich zum Vorjahr einen Zuwachs von 22,6% und betrugen circa 6.905.000 Einheiten. Gründe für die Steigerung waren sowohl Preissenkungen, die den Zugang zum Massenmarkt erweitert haben, als auch die wachsende Verbreitung von Internet- und Breitbandanschlüssen in den privaten Haushalten, mit denen der gestiegene Bedarf von digitalen Inhalten, vor allem von Musik, gedeckt werden kann. Unterstützt wurde dieser Trend durch Änderungen im Kaufverhalten der Konsumenten, die immer stärker technologische Produkte nachfragen, so dass sich dieser Markt zu einem Massenmarkt entwickelt hat. INDEX 6 THE ICT SECTOR IN ITALY Das Verkaufsvolumen von Personal Computern stieg 2008 von 5,633 auf 6,905 Millionen Einheiten, wobei sich erneut die Präferenz der Verbraucher sowohl aus dem Business- als auch aus dem Verbrauchersektor für tragbare Computer gegenüber Desktop-Lösungen bestätigte. Zwar werden auch 2008 immer noch mehr Desktops (17.863.525 Einheiten) als Notebooks (11.313.320 Einheiten) verkauft, doch der Vertrieb von Desktops sank ( von 61,2% zu 58,1%), während bei Notebooks ein Zuwachs von 33,8% auf 36,8% registriert wurde, der vor allem der Markteinführung von günstigen Netbooks und anderen kleinen tragbaren PCs zu verdanken ist. Im Bereich der gewerblichen Nutzer haben die Banken ihre Dominanz konsolidiert (+1,8%), die hauptsächlich dem Aufschwung bei den IT Investitionen zu verdanken war, der sich voraussichtlich nach einer langen Konsolidierungs- und Rationalisierungsphase auch weiterhin fortsetzen wird. Die IT Industrie als zweitwichtigster Sektor verzeichnet einen positiven Trend mit +1,8% (2007: +1,9%), obwohl sie immer noch unter der internationalen Finanzkrise und dem gestiegenen Euro-Dollar Wechselkurs leidet. Dank konsequenter Investitionen in neue Technologien sowie in die Entwicklung von E-Government Projekten verzeichnet der Utilities Sektor 2008 wieder mit 3,4% das stärkste Wachstum. Obwohl die Sektoren Verteidigung und zentrale öffentliche Verwaltung auch 2008 einen negativen Trend aufwiesen, hat sich ihre Lage etwas verbessert. Die Sektoren Banken, Versicherungen und Finanzgesellschaften, Gebietskörperschaften, Gesundheit, Telekommunikation und Media, Distribution und Dienstleistungen und Transport und Verkehrsverbindungen verzeichneten hingegen auch 2008 einen deutlichen Rückgang. DER TELEKOMMUNIKATIONSMARKT Das Jahr 2008 stellte für den italienischen Telekommunikationsmarkt ein schwieriges Jahr voller Herausforderungen dar. Gründe hierfür waren sowohl die Marktsituation, als auch ordnungspolitische Eingriffe. Dies trug leider dazu bei, dass es in diesem Markt gegenüber dem Vorjahr zu einem Rückgang um 0,2 Prozentpunkte auf 44,12 Milliarden Euro kam, wobei die positive Entwicklung im Mobiltelefonbereich (+1,3%) nicht ausreichte, um das Minus von 2% im Festnetzbereich wett zu machen. Auch im Jahre 2008 hat sich der Zuwachs des Bereichs Consumer (25.804 Millionen Euro, +1,5%) sowie der Rückgang des Bereichs Business (14.136 Millionen Euro, -1,7%) fortgesetzt. Der Rückgang im Telekommunikationssektor betrifft sowohl die Infrastrukturen und Hardware für Telefonnetze, als auch die zugehörigen Dienstleistungen. Erstere verzeichnete einen Rückgang um 0,3% auf 9.590 Millionen Euro, während für die zweite ein eher leichterer Rückgang um 0,1% verzeichnet wurde. Obwohl der Rückgang der Telekommunikations-Dienstleistungen leicht war, hatte er hohe Relevanz, denn nie zuvor registrierte dieser Bereich einen Rückgang. Ebenfalls zurückgegangen sind die Umsätze, die von 34.580 auf 34.530 Millionen Euro fielen. Ursache hierfür ist der negative Trend sowohl der Festnetzsparte (-1,9%), die erstmals nicht von den Zuwächsen im Mobilfunkbereich (+1,4%) kompensiert werden konnte. DIENSTLEISTUNGSMARKT FESTNETZBRANCHE Der Dienstleistungsmarkt der Festnetzbranche wies 2008 einen negativen Verlauf auf. Die Erträge sanken gegenüber dem Vorjahr um 1,9% auf 15.770 Millionen Euro, wobei vor allem die schlechten Ergebnisse in den Bereichen Telefon (-6,9%) und Datenübertragung (-7,2%) ausschlaggebend waren. Das Jahr 2008 zeigte hingegen eine positive Variation bei den Internetdienstleistungen, die um 11,5% gewachsen sind und einen Wert von 3.100 Millionen Euro erreichten. Gewachsen sind auch die Bereiche Outsourcing-Dienstleistungen und Dienstleistungen für Internet und Datenzentren. Ebenfalls gestiegen sind die Breitbandverbindungen, die gegenüber 2007 um 15% zunahmen und nun mehr als 11 Millionen Nutzer verzeichnen. Demgegenüber schwächte sich allerdings der Zuwachs von Premium Dienstleistungen ab, so dass der Bereich Inbound einen Verlust von 21,6 Punkten zu verkraften hat. Der Bereich Mobilfunkdienstleister verzeichnete mit Erträgen um 18.760 Millionen Euro einen positiven Trend, allerdings hat sich der Zuwachs im Vergleich zu 2007 (+2,6%) etwas verlangsamt (+1,4%). Die Konvergenz zwischen Festnetz- und Mobilfunkdienstleistungen nimmt auch weiterhin zu, was folgende Daten belegen: INDEX 7 THE ICT SECTOR IN ITALY Bemerkenswert war 2008 der Zuwachs im Bereich mobiler „nicht vokaler“ Kommunikationsdienstleistungen wie beispielsweise SMS, MMS, Internetanschlüsse und value added services, die 27,9% der gesamten Mobilnetzdienstleistungen ausmachten und 2008 ein Volumen von circa 5.230 Millionen Euro erreichten. Das gestiegene Interesse der Verbraucher an den „nicht vokalen“ Dienstleistungen wird auch durch die um 7,4% gestiegenen Ausgaben der Verbraucher für diese Dienstleistungen belegt, was einer jährlichen Ausgabe von 113,4 Euro pro Verbraucher entspricht. Im Bereich mobiler Netzwerke kam es 2008 zu zahlreichen Innovationen und Entwicklungen. Eine besondere Rolle im Hinblick auf die Entwicklung von Dienstleistungen und Businessmodellen spielt der neueingeführte innovative Netzbetreiber MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator). Ende 2008 waren 1,3 Millionen Nutzer der MVNO registriert, Anfang 2009 boten dort 15 Netzbetreiber ihre Dienstleistungen an. VIDEOKONFERENZEN Das schon seit Jahren auf dem Business Markt angebotene und hauptsächlich von Unternehmen verwendete Kommunikationsmittel Videokonferenz hatte bis 2008 nie den erhofften Erfolg. Grund hierfür war das Fehlen einer angemessenen Netzstruktur, die den Verbrauchern Mindeststandards gewährleistet. 2008 verzeichnete einen Anstieg des Gebrauchs von Videokonferenzen, der von einer Systemänderung bei Videokonferenzen gefördert wurde. Diese stützen sich nun vorwiegend auf IP Protokoll, einem aus Verbrauchersicht billigeren, leichter implementierbareren, aber stets von hoher Qualität gekennzeichneter Driver. Videokonferenzen gelten immer mehr als kostengünstige Technologien. Die Kosteneinschränkung durch den Gebrauch von Videokonferenzen konkretisiert sich sowohl in geringeren Reisespesen, als auch in einer besseren innerbetrieblichen Kommunikation und in einem beschleunigten Entscheidungsprozess. Vorteile dieses Systems sind die geringen Vorbereitungszeiten sowie die Möglichkeit, Daten, sowie Bilder und multimediale Files während des Meetings auszutauschen, so dass das Arbeitstreffen einem Meeting „vis a vis“ ähnlich wird. Trotz der zahlreichen Vorteile des Einsatzes von Telekonferenzen wird ihre Verbreitung derzeit noch von den sehr hohen Kosten für die benötigte Infrastruktur behindert. Um den unterschiedlichen Ansprüchen der Verbraucher zu genügen wurden unterschiedliche Angebotsmodelle entwickelt, zu denen beispielsweise der auf ein „Pay-Per-Use“ Zahlungssystem gestützte CSP (Conferencing Service Provider) gehört, der den Verbrauchern ständig aktualisierte Systeme und Dienstleistungen zur Verfügung stellt, ohne dass dabei von der Firma hohe Ausgaben im Bereich Weiterbildung getragen werden müssen. Ein weiteres, häufig angewendetes Modell ist der CMSP (Collaboration Managed Service Provider). TV UND MEDIEN Das Jahr 2008 gilt als Erfolgsjahr der Digital Media, die sowohl die Entwicklung traditioneller Medien, als auch die neuer und innovativer Medien, wie das Web, beschleunigt hat. In Italien, wo mehr 23 Millionen Familien einen Fernseher besitzen, wird die Entwicklung neuer Dienstleistungen stark vom sich rasch entwickelnden Szenario auf dem nationalen TV Markt beeinflusst. Dieses Szenario bietet auf verschiedenen Ebenen Allianzen und Wettbewerb unter den Marktteilnehmern im Bereich TV und Unterhaltung, Pay TV und digitales Fernsehen sowie bei bisher weitgehend unbekannte Applikationen, wie Web TV, User Generated Contest, Videoplayer und Videosuchmaschinen. Sender und Pay TVs bewerben immer starker interaktive TV Lösungen als Reaktion auf die Webportale und den User Generated Contest, verfolgen dabei ein “push” Modell und bieten den Nutzern eine große Auswahl an persönlichen Lösungen für ihre Dienstleistungen. Im September 2008 wurde in Italien ein Plan zur Einführung des digitalen Fernsehens verabschiedet, der bis 2012 eine komplette Abschaltung des Analogsystems vorsieht, bereits 2010 sollen 70% der italienischen Analog-Empfänge abgeschaltet sein. Ende 2008 steigerte das digitale terrestrische TV seinen Marktanteil von 22,6% auf 32,9%, wobei die Anzahl italienischer Familien mit TDT Empfänger auf circa 8 Millionen stieg. Betrachtet man auch die Bereiche Satelliten-TV und IP-TV so stellt man fest, dass 51,8% der italienischen Familien digital TV nutzen, es öffnet sich also ein neuer Markt, der vom neuen Potential der digitalen Technologie bestimmt wird. INDEX 8 THE ICT SECTOR IN ITALY Auch der Markt für Pay Per View wuchs stark in Italien, was vor allem von einer bemerkenswerten Zunahme der Nutzerzahlen herrührte, die in der ersten Hälfte des Jahres europaweit an der Spitze lag. Ab Januar 2008 haben die TDT – Pay TV Abonnements große Bedeutung eingenommen. Die „Pay-Lösung“ stieg stark von 14% 2007 auf 26% im Jahr 2008, so dass in weniger als drei Jahren die Nutzer des digital terrestrischen Pay TV fast die Zahl der Satelliten-TV-Nutzer erreicht haben. Der TDT-Umsatz (Kartenverkauf, Abonnements, und Werbung) wuchs 2008 um 39% von 214,6 auf 279,2 Millionen Euro. Mit erheblicher Verspätung gegenüber den anderen europäischen Ländern gelang es Italien 2008 den Sektor des IP-TV umzustrukturieren und somit ihn auf ein höheres Niveau zu führen. Die Umsätze lagen 2008 bei 111 Millionen Euro und sind gegenüber 2007 um 48% gestiegen, darüber hinaus wuchs die Zahl der Nutzer stark auf über 500.000. In Europa fand das IP-TV Angebot 2008 8,5 Millionen Kunden, was einem Zuwachs gegenüber dem Vorjahr von 64% entspricht. Nur wenige Anbieter von festen TCL bieten ihren Kunden kein Triple Play Angebot. In Europa scheint IP-TV via Breitband-Zugang immer mehr an Bedeutung zu gewinnen, die Quote liegt 2008 in Frankreich bei 20%, in Belgien bei 13% und in Spanien bei 20%. Mobile TV hat derzeit in Italien und in Europa noch einen geringen Stellenwert, während dieses Angebot in den asiatischen Ländern wie Japan und Südkorea gut angenommen wird. 2008 war für Italien ein relevantes Jahr in diesem Sektor, denn die italienischen Unternehmen nahmen erstmals zur Kenntnis, dass kostenlose Fernsehkanale der einzige Weg zur Belebung und zum Wachstum dieses Sektors sind. Die Nutzerzahl von Mobile TV in Italien ist in ständiger Entwicklung und zeigt einen positiven Trend: 2008 waren 900.000 italienische Nutzer von Free und Pay Mobile TV registriert. Im Bereich Web TV verlief das Jahr 2008 positiv. Die Nutzerzahlen stiegen, in diesem Jahr nutzten ca. 9 Millionen Italiener Web Videos. 2008 stiegen die auch die Nutzerzahlen des Webs, ein starker Trend ging vom E-Mail Verkehr hin zu den Social Networks (+32%), wo den Nutzern sowohl User Generated Content, als auch Zugang zu im Web verfügbaren Fernsehproduktionen geboten wird. Darüber hinaus hat sich der Blickwinkel der Italienische Sender geändert, sie sehen das Web nicht mehr als Bedrohung, sondern als Gelegenheit zur Imageverbesserung. DER E-CONTENT MARKT Sowohl in Europa, als auch in Italien wuchs 2008 der digitale E-Content Markt, der unter anderem Unterhaltungsangebote für Mobiltelefone und das Web, Logos und Handy-Klingeltöne, aus dem Internet herunterladbaren audiovisuellen Content (Musik und Video), Lehrmaterial, Nachrichten im elektronischen Format sowie andere im Web, per Handy oder per digitales terrestrisches Fernsehen nutzbare Inhalte umfasst. Ursachen hierfür sind einerseits die Befriedigung der immer mehr zersplitterten und unterschiedlichen Nutzernachfrage sowie die Möglichkeit, Gelegenheiten wahrzunehmen, die ein für neue Technologien immer offenerer Markt bietet. Unterstützt wurde diese Steigerung durch die außerordentlich positive Entwicklung des Online-Anzeigenmarktes und der neuen Generation von Online Portalen, die durch die Verbindung besserer Inhalte und Dienstleistungen in stärker personalisierten Profilen eine stetig wachsende Rolle bei der Nachfrage nach Breitbandnutzung spielen. Zur Zeit steckt der E-Content Markt in allen europäischen Ländern in den Kinderschuhen und bietet daher ein Szenario in kontinuierlicher Entwicklung. Wie bereits im Rahmen des Kapitels „TV und Medien“ erwähnt, erweiterte sich 2008 der Nutzerkreis um die traditionellen Anbieter von Medien und Unterhaltung die heute freien und zahlungspflichtigen Lösungen auf digitalen Plattformen weniger ablehnend gegenüberstehen. Ein weiteres wichtiges Thema war die in mehreren Sektoren erkennbaren Konvergenz, die einige Marktsegmente, wie Musik und Video, stark beeinflusst hat. In diesem Zusammenhang sind drei Hauptentwicklungslinien zu erkennen: die Verbreitung von Multifernsehkanäle auf TDT, die Entwicklung von Pay Fernsehkanälen via Satellit oder IP-TV sowie die Veränderung des Mediengebrauchs durch das Web.

By covering the whole development process from fund raising to service coding and deployment, Prossima Isola is able to pick the best trends and the smartest ideas “in the wild” and then bring them to life in an agile and effective way. Prossima Isola acts mainly as a self-sufficient factory, being focused on continuous empowerment of its internal skills. The core design and development are always in charge to the internal staff, in order to keep a strict control over the quality of coding and testing processes. This is actually how we built the WhereIsNow services. WhereIsNow is an innovative concept in data management, that allow users to find always the latest version of a given datum. Generic search engines are great in finding information and documents but they are often unable to tell whether the data contained in that document is still valid or has been overridden by a new modified version. WhereIsNow ties every registered information to a key pair, identifying the publisher of the document and the document itself. Every time a new version of the document is released or published WhereIsNow tells the users where to find it. No more stumbling around, no more Internet crawling, no more errors. Just a direct link to the information you really need. WhereIsNow works with every kind of document: Office, OpenOffice, pdf, web pages and even your address book with Hive.Now, the new WhereIsNow application for mobile phones.
