Worldwide IT Spending And Staffing Outlook 2023
Despite most of our survey respondents agreeing that the economy will be worse in 2023 than in 2022, IT spending increases are broad and strong. However, in this annual report of the IT spending and staffing outlook for 2023, we believe there is another major factor at play. We find that IT is no longer seen as a cost center but as a strategic driver of growth. Because of this, business leaders are giving their IT departments greater resources to help plan for the coming recession rather than asking them to tighten their belts.

Hitachi Vantara CEO Gajen Kandiah will be the first to admit it. Hitachi Vantara has struggled to get its identity across to the market. He compared the problem to the old proverb about blind men coming across an elephant. As one man grasps the trunk, he decides it is a snake.

Application Developer Staffing Ratios 2022
The process of developing and maintaining enterprise applications is changing. Agile methodologies and DevOps are contributing factors to the decline in application developer staffing ratios. Low-code/no-code, rapid application development approaches that aim to reduce coding and application development times further reduce the need for developers.
