  • Expectations for Change in IT Operational Budgets, Worldwide

    IT Outlook for 2021 Depends on Where You Stand

    Last year did not go according to plan. Two months after we published our Worldwide IT Spending and Staffing Outlook for 2020, the world’s economies began to shut down.

But in this, our annual study of the IT spending and staffing outlook for the new year, we find that IT leaders worldwide have a surprisingly positive outlook on the year ahead. This research byte summarizes the full study.

And based on our analysis of IT organizations that are already well down the road in their cloud transformation, we could see spending on IT personnel comprise less than one third of the total IT budget within the next 10 years
