1. All eyes on Digital Technologies
Demand for IT will likely grow by 6.8% as business bet on digital initiatives in response to the economic turbulence. A survey of 200 CFOs conducted by Gartner reveals that 69% plan to increase their spending on digital technologies. On the other hand, another survey found that CIOs are assigned to value digital investments, and their staffing costs are expected to rise 2% to 4% annually for the next five years. This upcoming year, companies are relying on digital technologies to reshape their revenue stream by adding new products and services and modifying their cash flow and value proposition.
2. On-growing demand for technology
For companies looking to innovate and transform, opportunities for growth through technology are substantial. The industry is more significant than 10% of the global economy, and there continues to be a growing demand for technology. Research has predicted that spending on new technologies will reach $1.36 trillion in 2023, a 30% increase from the expected spending on traditional items. Additionally, software spending will expectedly grow by 10.5% next year. Nevertheless, it's important to remember that businesses are currently navigating through uncertain times, and actual expenditure may fluctuate more than in previous years.
