Here’s a look at why IT spend is on the increase

Over half of IT leaders are increasing their IT budgets; even in organisations where leadership are pushing for greater efficiency and cost savings when it comes to new technology projects. This is according to a Harvey Nash/KPMG’s 2019 survey. In conversations with more than 3 600 CIOs and technology leaders around the world, Harvey Nash and KPMG found that enterprises of all sizes and across all industries have to come up with strategies to manage this increase in technology as market disruptors set new standards for what customers expect. The Harvey Nash/KPMG survey revealed that even the most conservative organisations are investing heavily in IT.

As organisations become consumers of technology, rather than owners of technology, there is a greater willingness to up IT spend in an effort to reap the benefits that go hand-in-hand with digital transformation.

According to a recent TechRepublic survey, the Internet of Things (IoT), security, cloud services, internal hardware and software purchases, digital transformation and training current employees are top budget priorities today and into 2020. Rather than just trying to make the most of the amount of money you have, your budget allocations should align with your IT strategy. “In short, every line on the budget should tell a story that maps back to your IT strategy,” TechRepublic writes. But managing all of these resources and maintaining a clear picture of your tech environment can be complicated.
