It is clear that internal and external staffing will remain the largest component of IT budgets (53.5% globally). This trend is visible since 2009. In 2009 in-house staff counted 39% of the IT budget; but now projected to be 29.1% in 2014. Also in-house hardware/software infrastructure started at a higher percent of 33% in 2009 and projected to be 26.3% in 20144. Since the budget for IT staffing is decreasing from 67.0% in 2009 to 53.5% in 2014, IT leaders expect to outsource 70% of their IT infrastructure by 2018.5
PAC revealed that 36% of European businesses will spend more on digital transformation in 2014 than in 2013. It also revealed that 48% will spend more on mobile devices and applications, and 37% will spend more on business intelligence software. By market segment, the researcher expects strength in SaaS, mobile, big data and smart apps to streamline business processes.
