Enterprise software, devices to drive 2021 IT spending to $4.1T
Global information technology spending will grow 8.4% to $4.1 trillion in 2021, driven in part by enterprises accelerating their digital transformation plans, Gartner said in its latest IT spending forecast.
IT spending will be driven by digital business plans that will be refined and completed in 2021, Gartner said. More digital initiatives are originating from business departments outside of IT, making IT a full participant in business value delivery, said John-David Lovelock, a distinguished research vice-president at Gartner.
