Tough Times in Europe Call for IT Budget Growth
In recent years, Europe has been hit by a pandemic, double-digit inflation, and a war. The subsequent supply chain disruptions, shortages of food and fuel, and looming recession do not make anything any easier for IT organizations on the continent. Still, IT budgets are rising. Not necessarily at the pace of rampant inflation. But still more than typical in times of economic contraction. It is starting to become clear that most enterprises now view IT as a strategic resource in weathering uncertainty. IT is no longer seen as a cost center but as a strategic resource that can impact the top and bottom lines. This research byte is a brief description of some of the findings in our European IT Spending and Staffing Benchmarks 2022/2023 study.
