A new report from Datamonitor says that Technology vendors could shortly find themselves up against it, with IT budget growth expected to slow in 2009.
Datamonitor based their report on a survey of 8,000 global IT ‘decision-makers’. 37 per cent said that they were expecting to see their IT budget increase in 2009. Half stated that they expect to their budget to stay the same in 2009.
The exception, however, was the healthcare sector, where the majority of healthcare industry respondents (57 per cent) said they plan to expand their IT expenditure in 2009.
