IT underpins every aspect of modern life. Worldwide IT spending is projected to total $3.76 trillion in 2019, an increase of 3.2 percent from 2018, according to Gartner, Inc.
The likely scenario for IT spending remains one of growth. Spending is moving from saturated segments such as mobile phones, PCs and on-premises data center infrastructure to cloud services and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. IT is no longer just a platform that enables organizations to run their business on. It is becoming the engine that moves the business and provides the opportunity to achieve competitive advantage. As digital business and digital business ecosystems move forward, IT will be the thing that binds the business together.
With the shift to cloud, a key driver of IT spending, enterprise software continues to exhibit strong growth, with worldwide software spending projected to grow 8.5 percent in 2019. It is anticipated to grow another 8.2 percent in 2020 to total $466 billion. Organizations are expected to increase spending on enterprise application software in 2019, with more of the budget shifting to software as a service (SaaS).
