Traditionally the Education and Healthcare markets have been underserved by the IT industry. However, the Compound Annual Growth Rate for Software, especially for new projects, is forecasted to outpace the growth of the commercial sector. Deregulation and new competitive pressures are necessitating Hospitals, Cure and Care organizations as well as Schools, Colleges and Universities to change their IT infrastructure and Solution set. Many have enormous amounts of locally-installed, non-integrated antiquated software that is increasingly hard to maintain, upgrade and integrate. Following trends like integration with Social Software, Software-as-a-Service as well as personalized portals these organizations are investing in new solutions. Electronic Medical Dossiers, Healthcare Information System Integration and Aggregation, Recruitment of Students, Fighting Attrition, Content Management, Competency development for Students, Medical Staff and Teachers, Portals for all Stakeholders are new areas of investment for these organizations.
