    App Developers Make Up a Record Low Percentage of IT Staff

    In just five years, the proportion of application developers within IT departments has declined sharply from nearly a quarter of the entire IT staff to just over one-tenth. But this notable shift is not necessarily a sign of mass layoffs among application developers. In fact, we have seen no evidence to suggest that fewer developers are working in IT departments. Rather, it signals a change in the overall composition of IT teams and an evolving role for application developers within the organization. This research byte summarizes our full report on application developer staffing ratios.

    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.

    Data Center Operations Outsourcing Trends and Customer Experience 2023

    As data centers become larger, more automated, virtualized, and complex, service providers can leverage expertise and economies of scale to provide attractive alternatives to on-premises data centers. On the other hand, turning over data center operations to a service provider or moving applications to a hosting site can entail risk.

    The construction industry faces many challenges—tight margins, complex projects, stressed supply chains, and labor shortages.

Into that breach have stepped cloud-based ERP vendors, and one of the leaders is Acumatica. The company touted recent enhancements to its solutions at its annual customer conference in Las Vegas last month.
