New report: Benelux IT Costs 2009-2010

Large companies’ budgets & forecasts

The financial crisis and the resulting economic recession is creating a high level of uncertainty for Benelux companies as there are no credible forecasts of the duration of the downturn and how fast the recovery will take place. The recession is however bound to continue to impact on the IT spending in the companies in the short- to medium-term future. The question is how large the impact on IT costs will be and how the IT spending will develop in comparison with other key figures such as turnover and number of IT users.

Benelux IT Costs – Large companies’ budgets & forecasts maps out both current IT costs in Benelux companies as well as the trends. In the report the IT costs levels as well as the allocation of spending is described and analysed. Both the allocation on IT resources (hardware, software, staff etc.) and on IT functions (infrastructure, ERP etc.) is presented. Furthermore, Benelux companies’ perception of the potential for cost-savings in different IT function areas is reported.
