Computer Economics: Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic on IT Budgets in 2020
Computer Economics: Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic on IT Budgets in 2020 At the beginning of 2020, IT organizations were poised for another year of strong IT operational budget growth—and then the global coronavirus pandemic struck. IT leaders are changing their priorities for new projects as a result of COVID-19.

Deconstructing the Sourcing Challenges In the Wake Of COVID-19
Organizations can neither influence the public health responses to the pandemic, nor can they change societal structures by themselves.

Big Data Analytics
"How can rice production in India, affect wheat output in the US, the shipping industry in Norway and the rubber industry in South America?" This was the opening statement of a commercial aired by T. Rowe Price. It is baffling to think that there is a connection between sectors that seem to be so disconnected from each other. But today, this is most certainly a reality.

Website/E-Commerce Becoming More Strategic, While Outsourcing Rate Flattens
Website and e-commerce outsourcing is one of the most ubiquitous types of managed services. However, after a recent dip, the percentage of organizations outsourcing in this area has been flat. This could be due, in part, to e-commerce technology becoming more strategic in nature. As more customers shop online and use mobile device payment systems, the web and e-commerce experience becomes a legitimate differentiator. That is apparently prompting some companies to bring e-commerce systems in-house. This Research Byte provides a look at the outsourcing frequency in context of the full report, Website/E-Commerce Outsourcing Trends and Customer Experience.
