IDC is predicting that small and medium-size business (SMB) IT spending will reach record levels in 2012 and there will be clear winners and losers when it comes to both technology and regional spending growth. The new SMB pragmatism and the growing role of "social, mobile, and virtual" will drive major SMB investments across geographies.

New global survey work and the latest IDC forecasts provide the foundation for a look ahead to changing SMB priorities and opportunities. Join IDC's global SMB research team in an examination of the Top 10 regional and technology forecasts for 2012 - and beyond.
