Project Overview: Approach
• IDC utilized numerous sources to estimate the skills gap in Latin America. • IDC forecasts • Demand-side interviews – Nearly 800 (encompassing multiple
size & vertical industry segments) • Publically available metrics – GDP, labor statistics, etc. • Supply-side interviews – to validate assumptions and provide an
additional checkpoint.
• IDC constructed a highly detailed model that relied on multiple inputs to estimate the supply and demand for various levels of networking skills in eight key countries in Latin America.

Technology Growth: New Solutions Driving Investments
8
• In 2012, the ICT industry's shift to its third major platform of growth — built on mobile, cloud, social, and Big Data technologies — has accelerated, forcing the industry's leaders to make bold investments and fateful decisions. • "Mobility wins" will be the top theme of the year as mobile devices out ship PCs by more than 2 to 1 and generate more revenue than PCs for the first time. • Big Data will join mobile and cloud as the next "must have" competency as the volume of digital content grows.
