Talent war to push CIOs toward consultancies, managed services in '22
This will be the year CIOs should be able to move past short-term projects that deal with pandemic-related workplace issues and focus on longer-term IT projects, according to a new study by Gartner Research.
Despite the Omicron COVID-19 variant, an economic recovery — with high expectations for spending on digital transformation projects — is likely to continue to boost technology investments this year.
This year, worldwide IT spending is projected to reach $4.45 trillion, an increase of 5.1% from 2021, according to Gartner’s Worldwide IT Spending Forecast, which was released Tuesday. That growth is expected to continue into 2023, when another 5% in IT spending will be added — bringing the worldwide total of nearly $4.7 trillion.
