Abstract
This report examines the federal market for software and related services.
It identifies federal agencies' requirements, plans, and perceptions of the
role of software in federal information systems. The leading vendors are
identified by market segment and agency.
INPUT expects the federal software market to grow from $2.3 billion in
FY 1991 to $3.9 billion in FY 1996, at a compound annual growth rate of
11%. This market is almost evenly split between the software products
segment and the software development segment. Within the software
products segment, growth in applications software will be half again as
large as systems software growth.
This report contains 180 pages, including 76 exhibits.
