IT Spending and Staffing Benchmarks 2023/2024: Chapter 3B: Midsize Organization Benchmarks
The IT spending and staffing outlook for midsize organizations in 2023 can best be described with the old British slogan, “keep calm and carry on.” As we mentioned in last year’s study, IT budgets are increasingly divorced from economic conditions. As enterprises continue their digital transformation, the IT department is increasingly valuable. Much of that can be attributed to IT’s new seat at the strategic table and the growing perception that technology can drive revenue growth. Despite economic headwinds, we see only a slight pullback in IT spending.

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.

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.
