Not to be slowed down
According to a current forecast by research and consulting firm Gartner, global IT spending will reach around USD 4.4 trillion in 2022. This represents an increase of four percent compared to 2021. "This year represents one of the most unsettled years yet for CIOs", says John-David Lovelock, Distinguished Research Vice President at Gartner. "Geopolitical tensions, inflation, currency fluctuations and supply chain challenges are among the many factors that require both attention and time. But CIOs are accelerating their IT investments, recognizing that agility, seamless customer experiences and security are especially important in times of disruption."
