David,
Some money in the pipeline for IDX???
FY 2000 State and Local IT Market Worth Almost $60B
In 1999, state and local governments could spend as much as $50.7 billion on information technology, up significantly from last year's $46.1 billion.
Next year, the market could be worth $55.8 billion, according to recent figures from market research firm Federal Sources Inc., McLean, Va.
Those expenditures were split 50/50 between state and local governments, which together dwarf federal technology outlays of about $19 billion.
Major management issues facing state and local IT officials include outsourcing, strategic partnerships, work-force retention, privacy, security and enterprise computing, which makes up almost 20 percent of the activity in the market.
Top technologies include imaging, card technology, biometrics, Asynchronous Transfer Mode, mobile laptops, World Wide Web tech and geographic information systems. Some of the hottest solutions are point-of-sale systems, digitized driver's license systems, data warehousing, offender-based tracking systems and case management.
