In 2015, IT spending should fall 7% in Brazil
The economic situation increasingly negative in Brazil will also impact on the world of information technology. The slowdown of investment here should lead to a 7% reduction in spending this year, according to figures released on Thursday (9) by Gartner. The institute even is reviewing its initial forecast for 2015, which was $ 125 billion, and lowering it to $ 116 billion.
It is a huge amount, no doubt, but the general idea is that this reduction in spending generates more pressure on executives and industry experts. According to the consultancy, the general idea is that those responsible for IT departments will have, from now on, deliver more with less. The investments will be focused on key areas, while in others, the idea is to optimize the work and costs.
It is precisely for this reason that the ten sectors that should receive money, three relate to hardware and tools. They are: infrastructure / data centers, BI and other analysis tools, and finally ERP. Technologies still in the implementation stage, such as mobility or cloud computing, or even as important safety, ended up further down in the rankings. Check out:
- Infrastructure and data center
- Analytics and Business Intelligence
- ERP
- Cloud Computing
- Mobility
- Networks of voice, data and communication
- Digital marketing
- Security
- Application development
- IT services and automation
For Gartner, this new drop table shows that the information technology sectors increasingly depend on strategic decisions than investments. The current goal for much of 2800 executives interviewed for the study, is to put money on what really matters. In this tune, virtualization and cloud computing appear as a way to reduce internal costs, while bringing more agility and security in business.
It is precisely the cloud sector that should end up climbing this ranking in the near future, despite appearing only in fourth place today. The transformation of local data centers to a connected infrastructure will continue to lead the IT movement within companies, and this should become the number one priority on the agenda of Brazilian CIOs.
