    IT Spending & Staffing 2006/2007: Chapter 5, IT Outsourcing Trends

    Chapter 5 of our 2006/2007 IT Spending, Staffing, and Technology Trends study provides a detailed analysis for eight categories of outsourcing. For each category, we report the level of adoption overall, the percent of organizations increasing their use of outsourcing, the percent decreasing their use of outsourcing (or "back-sourcing"), and the percent staying at the same level of outsourcing. This data is provided for the composite sample, by organization size, and for 10 industry sectors. The eight categories of outsourcing are: software development; website or e-commerce hosting and maintenance; hosted applications (software on-demand, or software as a service; disaster recovery services; outsourced network operations; outsourced desktop support; outsourced data center operations/management; and help desk. At the end of this chapter, we provide an analysis of the use of offshore service providers as an alternative source for outsourcing IT functions. (23 pp., 19 figs.) [Executive Summary]

  • IT Spending Benchmarks - Long-Term Trends in IT Budget Line Item Ratios

    Long-Term Trends in IT Budget Line Item Ratios

    This article, the third in our series on long-term trends in IT spending and staffing, analyzes changes in IT spending on a line-item basis, based on 10 years of data from our IT spending and staffing surveys. Using the ratio of each budget line item to the total IT budget, changes in corporate spending are analyzed for the following categories of IT spending: personnel, training, recruiting, data center hardware (servers and storage), software, desktop and end-user hardware, network infrastructure, outside services, facilities, overhead and supplies, security, and business continuity. By understanding long-term shifts in spending trends, the future direction for spending in each category can be better understood. (14 pp., 12 figs.)[Executive Summary]

  • IT Spending Benchmarks - Ten-Year Trends in IT Spending and Outlook for 2006

    Ten-Year Trends in IT Spending and Outlook for 2006

    This article examines long-term trends in IT spending, based on Computer Economics surveys of several thousand CIOs and senior IT managers in North America over the past 10 years. The long term trend for three key IT spending metrics are documented: IT budget as a percent of revenues, IT spending per employee, and the percentage change of IT budgets year over year. Bottom line: the post-Y2K bust and dot-com collapse in IT spending are now behind us, and IT spending ratios have returned to their long term trend lines. We use these trends to forecast these statistics for the coming year.
