4IT PRIORITIES 2012 UNITED STATES
Dear Readers:
In this inaugural version of ZDNets U.S. IT Priorities report there are many common threads that addup to an enterprise tipping point. Technology budgets are at to up a bit, but respondents would
love to ditch their legacy gear and start fresh.
The challenge for technology executives is clear: How do your lower costs to carve our the dollars
needed to be a corporate hero? And to be that corporate hero technology execs have to be aligned
with business priorities. If not, its safe to say that business units will ultimately control the technology
budget. In fact, that movement is already happening.
In the pages that follow youll nd a series of data nuggets on IT buying priorities as well as a few
items that may surprise you. Here are a few nuggets that stuck out for me and my take on what they
mean.
Mobility and Web apps are a high priority for many IT buyers. My take: Mobility is the most obvious
way for enterprise technology to remain relevant. Want to be a superstar? Get me all the corporate
data I need in a nice wrapper on my iPad in the eld. As for Web apps, tech execs want to shed
existing on-premise software for lighter weight cloud offerings.
Size matters much less today than in recent years. My take: Big companies have the most legacy
technology to shed. As a result, smaller companies can be more transformational with cloud efforts.
Its no wonder that midsized companies had the most budget winners in our survey. Midsized
companies are in a sweet spot. Theyre large enough to do damage to the big boys yet dont have
the bloat.
Tech spending is more fun in China and India. My take: In the U.S. a tech budget thats at to
up a smidge is the norm. That reality is ipped in China and India where a tech spending boom
is underway. This spending boom will matter to U.S. technology executives given that many
companies are truly global.
Data mining and business intelligence are on the radar. My take: Respondents to our survey
remained focused on cutting costs, but data mining is becoming a larger priority. Seventy percent
of respondents said that analytics was a priority. Tech execs better say that because the business
leadership is analytics happy.
Security is a big worry. My take: Given all the upheaval tech execs have to navigate with
consumerization and multiple devices it only makes sense that securing corporate data is scary.
IT buyers are all about price. My take: Vendor margins are going to get squeezed in any category
with more than two players. Customers want a deal and they want quality. This reality is totally
warranted. With a at budget, money to transform has to come from somewhere. That somewhere
is often a vendors backside.

5IT PRIORITIES 2012 UNITED STATES
The challenges aced by IT proessionals have
principally been centered on managing rapid
change and enabling users to more eectively
do their jobs. But since the global fnancial crisis
emerged in 2008, with the collapse o Lehman
Brothers, IT management challenges have
multiplied.
Some have succumbed to organizational and nancial pressures,
seemingly forced to accept they are a cost center that needs to be cut
back, trimmed and contained. Others, however, have reasserted their
centrality as part of a solution to the crisis. These IT organizations are
offering a way forward, a plan for difcult times strategic advantage.
The warp speed of new technology development and adoption, the
profusion of ICT service delivery models and pricing, and the volatility
of global nancial markets together magnify the challenges facing IT
executives and practitioners. New business delivery models that extend
IT systems to customers and partners outside organization boundariesonly add to the complexity.
Organizations are focused on making the best use of their capital in
todays low interest rate environment. Smart organizations are looking
again at transformational projects that will deliver medium and long-term
returns, investments that may not have crossed the investment bar in
other times.
Respondents to this years IT Priorities study, the rst embracing US
organizations, help us better understand this difcult environment. We
sincerely thank our respondents for providing the information on which
this report and the following summary is based. Now lets take a look atwhat that information had to say.

6IT PRIORITIES 2012 UNITED STATES
IT budgets are mostly increasing or stable
Despite the constraints of an underperforming economy, more than twice as many organizations
report increased IT budgets in 2011 as report budget decreases. 38.7% of organizations say their
IT budgets have increased, while just 16.7% report lower budgets. 44.6% say their budgets year-
on-year were at.
Over 20% of organizations report budget increases of more than 10%. We will call these budget
winners and call those that have faced cuts of more than 10% budget losers.
Together these results paint a picture of a two-speed IT market in which some organizations are
pushing ahead aggressively with transformative projects based on new technology or new delivery
methods while others are bunkering down and looking inside for cost cutting opportunities. The
danger for the latter group is they may nd it increasingly hard to compete against leaner, more
agile, more modern and more automated competitors.
Budget winners are grinners
The survey shows budget winners (those reporting budget increases of 10% or more year-on-
year) are typically more focused than budget losers on IT priorities that directly create value for
their businesses through productivity and efciency gains. As ICT budgets continue to devolve to
management outside the core IT group, for example marketing, it seems likely that these managers
are deploying that budget into areas that more directly benet the business, such as CRM.
Of the key verticals we examine, the Telecommunications, IT and Technology and Healthcare
sectors have the largest proportions of budget winners. Far more organizations in Government arending their budgets are being cut than in other industries, but the Education and Media/Publishing/
Advertising sectors are also signicantly challenged. Budget winners and losers are not conned to
a particular size of organization, but organizations in the mid segment (100 to 499 staff) have the
highest proportion of budget winners at 25.2%. Organizations with more than 500 staff have the
highest proportion of budget losers 13.4%.
Our hypothesis, that the budget winners have won because they are doing things better and are
more customer focused than their peers who have lost resources, is strongly supported by another
nding budget winners are generally ahead in the deployment of modern, externally focused
business technologies. If they are behind in some more traditional application areas the difference is
marginal, and their intention to invest in these is much stronger than among budget losers.
Budget losers, therefore, are not just taking a pause from investment or reaching the end of a project
cycle they are under investing now as they have at least in the recent past. They are also investing
in solving legacy problems that add cost to the business, but are generally invisible to customers.
We do acknowledge in all of this that economic impacts and special circumstances in industry
verticals are also likely to play a part.

7IT PRIORITIES 2012 UNITED STATES
All this raises a question: how do budget losers break the cycle and win the trust of senior
leadership teams to do better in the next budget round?
Business leaders demand business benefts beore
loosening IT budget purse-strings
IT initiatives that directly deliver efciencies and productivity improvements to the business are
priorities for American IT executives in 2012. The top three IT priorities are improving business
process and efciency (a top priority or major priority for 69.1% of businesses), aligning IT
priorities with business growth (61.1%) and increasing overall productivity with new technologies
(59.5%).
These value-adding activities are prioritized at the expense of activities that are either internally
focused or, while they may make life easier for IT teams, have a lower direct impact on businessperformance (e.g. ease of deployment, ease of IT management).
Budget winners are prioritizing value-creating and client-focused activities. They therefore have a
better chance to contribute to their organizations nancial performance. Their IT management is
better placed to point to effective outcomes from IT investment and to argue for more.
Budget losers, meanwhile, are caught in a spiral of focusing on and achieving cuts in IT spending,
but they are falling behind more inspired and committed peers. Tackling expensive legacy is vital for
transformation. Money must be spent to migrate to virtualized and cloud environments to strongly
shift the organization towards a streamlined datacenter model.
When setting objectives or IT improvements, improvingbusiness processes is the key goal, but better access to
data or more inormed decision-making, and improved
security also eature prominently
Improved applications that better t business processes and improved access to data feature as
a top IT improvements targeted by US organizations, closely followed by improved security and
improved availability of IT infrastructure. There is little between these four priority IT improvements,
all scored mentions by between 57.1% and 60.4% or respondents. Together these paint a picture
of organizations searching for seamless performance from their IT systems, systems that t the
business, that talk to each other and that are secure and available when needed. These are
fundamental and timeless requirements in corporate IT management the bottom line, if you like,
which enables ICT to be a key contributor to the service delivery capability of the organization.
Improved business processes and efciency, alignment of IT with business growth, increasing
productivity through the use of new technology and meeting customer and partner expectations
are much stronger improvement objectives for budget winners than budget losers, whose budget
pressures make them much more intent on cutting IT costs.

Budget winners are consistently more involved in developing IT
capabilities that push their businesses services outside organizational
boundaries to connect with customers.
Large businesses have some
disadvantages in terms o IT cost
Large businesses have been implementing IT over a longer time period
than smaller and newer competitors (both in the US and, increasingly
in APAC economies). They consequently have a range of legacy IT
infrastructure that cost more, sometimes much more, than more modern
offerings based on virtualized and consolidated architectures and pay-
as-you-go service models. Changing this is an important focus for them.
The larger the business, the more focused they are on lowering IT
infrastructure costs. 66.2% of the largest businesses (>500 staff) are
lowering IT infrastructure costs, but this proportion declines for smaller
companies until it represents only 44.4% of the smallest businesses
(1-49 staff).
Government organizations are far more intent on cutting overall IT costs
(70%) than others, followed by nancial services organizations and rms
in the Media/Publishing/Advertising industries. All three industry groups
are famously facing extreme nancial pressures.
New technologies and application deliverymodels are leveling the playing feld, and
helping smaller organizations
Other than in seeking to lower the cost of legacy IT, company size is
no longer a clear predictor of the likely IT strategy of an organization.
However it is a predictor of technology adoption.
It is now commonplace to say smaller companies who adopt technology
imaginatively can outperform larger businesses in some areas through
the use of cloud computing and software as a service, self-service
portals, multi-channel marketing initiatives and product co-creation via
online communities. But it is large organizations targeting cloud and web
applications most strongly, almost certainly as a way to escape lock-in to
expensive legacy environments and to unleash capital to drive change.

9IT PRIORITIES 2012 UNITED STATES
Mobility and web applications are hot, hot, hot!
There will be a strong focus in 2012 and 2013 on projects to introduce mobile applications, but over
the next year web applications have priority. Organizations will also prioritize access to integrated
data across the organization to support improved decision-making.
US organizations will seek to extract value from existing staff and technologies through IT training
initiatives, and continue to pursue virtualization and consolidation efforts to simplify architecture,
centralize management and reduce IT costs while not disempowering front line staff.
Secure, responsive, 24/7 services designed or customer
satisaction and intimacy set challenges or IT teams
Protecting/securing the network is the most common challenge, keeping exactly half of this years
respondents awake at night, while 47.4% rate optimizing and controlling costs a top or major
challenge.
Improving service responsiveness is what taxes 38.9% of this years respondents.
However, reducing headcount in IT, outsourcing and offshoring, are not signicant challenges for
US IT professionals.
Competitive IT vendor pricing, service quality and fnancial
stability oat IT customers boats
There are no magic tricks for IT vendors looking to win new business. They will not get past rst basewith prospective customers unless they offer a price advantage, are willing to go the extra mile to
deliver high quality outcomes and have a stable nancial foundation. We strongly believe these criteria
should be the core of any vendor or partners corporate strategy.
Assuming the top three considerations are met, the key things vendors can do to win business is
use relationships, referrals, offer great technology and ensure they are established as an approved
supplier.
Having started with the IT users perspective, its tting to complete the cycle from the vendors
perspective. They too are challenged by the complexity of current markets, and the spiraling
demands of customers. As large users of IT themselves, they share their customers challenges.

Despite ongoing global nancial
uncertainties and intense revenue
pressures in some industries, manybusinesses are continuing to invest in
IT (even though they may be cutting in
other areas) because they see it as the
means to transform their businesses
through efciency and productivity
gains, and opening up new channels to
market.
38.7% of organizations say their IT
budgets increased, while 44.6% report
at budgets.
Just 16.7% of organizations face
a reduction in IT budgets, a quite
remarkable result given market
conditions. Budget decreases are also
much less common in private sector
organizations than in government.
Budget increases for many
organizations are comfortably higher
than ination, wages growth and GDP

There are clearly winners and losers in the budget
merry-go-round21.2% enjoyed budget increases above 10% (the budget winners), while 11.4% are dealing with
budget contractions of 10% and above (the budget losers).
One of the approaches of this survey is to compare the IT strategies of budget winners with those of
budget losers. Budget winners are typically more focused on IT priorities that directly create value for
their businesses through productivity and efciency gains.
Our hypothesis is the budget winners have won because they are doing things better than their
peers who have lost resources. They are delivering for their organizations and are seen to be
delivering. It is clear from these data that budget losers in 2011 are not merely at the end of an
investment phase or cycle or taking a pause from investment and projects. Budget winners aregenerally ahead in deploying customer focused and transformative technologies. We look in more
detail later in the report at the contrasting IT priorities and objectives of budget winners and losers.
Budget Changes; US v. APAC
IT budgets in the US are not increasing at the same rate as in the Asia Pacic (APAC) economies.
Budget increases among Chinese and Indian organizations (73.5% saw their budgets increase in
2011) are nearly twice as common as among US organizations. Outside of the developed country of
Singapore, they are also much more common in South East Asia.

Budgets by Organization Size
While budget winners and losers are not conned to a particular size of
organization, some segments have more of these than others.
Mid-sized organizations with between 100-499 staff have the highest
proportion of budget winners at 25.2%. Organizations of this size are
both hungry for growth and in need of systems to support increasingly
complex business processes, larger customer bases and internal
decision-making.
There is a higher proportion of budget losers among larger organizations
(with more than 500 staff) 13.4%. This is potentially because that
group contains many government organizations, which is the sector
suffering the most extensive budget cuts.

o organizations in the Government, Education and Media/
Publishing/Advertising sectors are budget losers
Telecommunications is the industry with the most budget winners at 30.9%. Complexity, large
volumes of vital data, security and constant change drive IT to the forefront of business strategy in
this sector.
The IT&T sector is also amongst the budget winners with 28.2% enjoying budget increases of
10% and above. It is logical that for service providers to keep up with projects and demand from
customer organizations they must increase their own IT investment.
That the above two sectors have done relatively well is not surprising given the central role ICT plays
in service delivery, and its consequent contribution to positively differentiate service offerings from
those of competitors.
The Government sector is suffering by comparison, with only 15.4% of organizations gaining
increases of 10% and more and 29.2% facing cuts of more than 10%, the largest proportion in
any industry. Education is lagging with just 13.6% being budget winners and Media/Publishing/
Advertising trailing the pack with just 11.1%.
Pressure on the Obama administration to keep a lid on federal spending and even greater pressure
on state and municipal budgets is keeping a lid on ICT investment in the government and education
sectors. Healthcare, conversely, has to invest to manage changes brought about by government
healthcare reforms.

15IT PRIORITIES 2012 UNITED STATES
Priorities or All Respondents
IT initiatives that directly deliver efciencies and productivity improvements to the business are
priorities for US IT executives in 2011.
The top three IT priorities in 2011 are improving business process and efciency (a top priority or
major priority for 69.1% of businesses), aligning IT priorities with business growth (61.1%) and
increasing overall productivity with new technologies (59.5%).
These value-adding activities are prioritized at the expense of activities that, whilst they make life
easier for IT teams, have a low impact on business performance (e.g. ease of deployment, ease of
management).
Aligning IT with the business is a constant objective of IT executives, but in hard times it becomes
central. Without condence in such alignment, organizations can apply precious capital in sub-
optimal and even damaging ways.
A surprisingly low priority is being put on improving data mining and business intelligence capabilities
(37.8%) and mobile workforce (34.8%). It is likely the kinds of advantages such projects deliver
are hard to dene and therefore hard to justify when competing for funds with projects offering
quantiable business improvements, especially if mobility is aimed at enabling remote access rather
than improved customer service and creating more efcient service processes.
Green initiatives are the lowest IT priority (20.6%), despite coverage in industry media.

The Dierent Priorities o Budget Winners and Losers
Why have some organizations had budget increases whilst the
budgets o others are chopped? There may be several contributing
actors, but its clear that budget winners, in prioritizing value-
creating and client-ocused priorities, have a better chance to
contribute to their organizations fnancial perormance. As a
result, they will be better placed in the next budget round to point
to the eective outcomes o their IT initiatives, and to argue or
increased budget or next year.
Budget winners put more focus on value-creating activities than their budget loser peers at other
organizations.
Budget winners are also more likely to be prioritizing initiatives that help the business service clients,
such as meeting external customer/partners needs (68.6% of budget winners prioritizing compared
with 55.1% of budget losers) and managing a mobile workforce (43% compared with 25.9%).
They are also much less likely to be derailed by the need to reduce overall IT costs (although that is
still important, even for budget winners with 53.2% prioritizing).

Addressing Key IT Priorities Segment Size
The leading IT priority, improving business processes and
efciency, is a top priority irrespective o the size o the
organization, but or many o the other priorities signifcant
dierences emerge between dierent sized organizations.
A reduction in overall IT costs is a much stronger priority for large organizations than small or
medium-sized ones. 66.2% of organizations with over 500 staff rate this top or a major priority.
Issues of compliance, naturally, also tax large organizations most strongly as does improving data
mining and business intelligence capabilities for more informed decision making.
Medium-sized organizations are prioritizing, increasing overall productivity through new technologies,
with 65.7% rating it a top or major priority. Medium-sized organizations rank ease of management
and ease of deployment lower than either small organizations, which often lack internal specialist IT
resources, or large organizations, which struggle with both process complexity and legacy systems.

Tellingly, it is government that is putting the most emphasis on
reduction in overall IT costs, with 70% rating this a top or major
priority. In the current environment it is hard not to conclude that
any savings achieved are unlikely to be applied to developing better
systems to deliver automation and transormation, but or other
sectors there is much more hope that saved resources can be used
to deliver positive change.
Finance, Telecommunications and Manufacturing are most focused on increasing overall productivity
through new technologies. All of these are highly competitive market segments with customers that
are highly sensitive to price, service and quality.
The Finance and Healthcare sectors prioritize. Ensuring compliance much more strongly than the

When talking about specifc objectives or IT improvements,
respondents again stress the importance o improving business
processes, as they did when identiying their IT priorities.
Respondents are also putting ocus on improved access to data or
more inormed decision making, improved security and improved
availability and system perormance.
60.4% say improving applications to better t business process is a top consideration or major
consideration.
Improving access to information or data for more informed decision making is an important
consideration for 58.6% of respondents. This did not feature prominently as an IT priority (being
ranked 12th), so it appears this objective is a focus in projects generally, as an adjunct to otherpriorities, rather than a key priority in its own right.
Respondents consider security to be an important focus for improvement, with 57.4% rating it a
top consideration or major consideration. High prole and embarrassing hacks, data breaches
and constant online attacks from both foreign government and non-government sources, from
mischievous individuals, hactivists and others is driving this concern.
The need to improve availability and performance of IT infrastructure is given similar prominence,
with 57.1% rating it a top consideration or major consideration.
Improvements aimed at developing new offerings/services to differentiate from competitors (42.4%)
and developing and creating new channels and points of distribution (31.8%) do not gure in the toprankings overall, but they are more important for budget winners (see over).

Budget winners are more ocused than budget losers on developing
new capabilities to dierentiate their businesses rom competitors
and develop new channels to market. They are consistently more
involved in developing IT capabilities that push their businesses
services outside organizational boundaries to connect with
customers. Budget winners are clearly ahead o the competition in
helping generate business advantage.
Over one half (52.6%) of budget winners say developing new offerings/services to differentiate from
competitors (e.g., utilizing social media to reach new markets or mobile payments and applications)
is a top or major consideration compared to only 36.4% of budget losers.
40.2% of budget winners are developing and creating new channels and point of distribution (e.g.,
selling of products or services online or using buying groups to market new products and services),
but only 22.3% of budget losers are doing so.
Budget losers are much more likely to be focusing on activities that dont improve their businesses
market capabilities. They are hampered, especially, by the need to focus on lowering the cost of IT
infrastructure: 60.3% of budget losers have this as a top or major consideration, compared to
just 47% of budget winners.

IT Improvements By Organization Size
Large businesses are at a disadvantage in
terms o cost o IT, because they have been
implementing IT over a longer time period
than smaller and newer competitors. They
consequently have a range o legacy IT
inrastructure or which costs exceed current
oerings based on virtualized and consolidated
architectures and pay-as-you-go service models.
The larger the business, the more focused it is on lowering IT
infrastructure costs. 63% of the largest businesses (>500 staff) rank
lowering IT infrastructure costs their top or a major consideration,
compared with just 39.8% in small organizations and 52.5% in medium-
sized organizations.
Other than lowering the cost o legacy IT
and improving security o inormation and IT
systems, company size is no longer a clear
predictor o the likely IT ocus or IT evolutionarystage o an organization. Developments such
as cheap or ree sotware, pay-as-you-go
applications oerings and cost-eective internet
access allow tiny businesses to compete with
the largest companies. Smaller companies that
adopt technology imaginatively can outperorm
larger businesses through sel-service portals,
multi-channel marketing campaigns and product
co-creation via online communities.
51.6% of organizations with less than 100 employees rank improving
security of information and IT systems as a top or major consideration
compared with 65.9% of organizations with more than 500 employees.

IT Improvements By Key Verticals
Organizations in fnance and government put the highest IT
improvement ocus on improving applications to better ft business
processes, but this is an important ocus across all industries.
Security is a high-ranking consideration across industries, but one really stands out: Government.
69.3% of Government organizations rate it a top or a major consideration compared with 57.4%
overall. With talk of cyber war, attacks attributed to Chinese hackers, data leakage concerns after
Wiki leaks and other threats, government is threatened from both inside and from the outside.
The threats in the Media/Publishing/Advertising sector are mainly driven by digitization and new
technologies and online services. The sector is way ahead of others in rating developing new
offerings/services to differentiate from competitors (e.g., utilizing social media to reach new markets
or mobile payments and applications) a top or major consideration (69.5% compared with 42.4%).They also rate developing and creating new channels and point of distribution (e.g., selling of

IT Challenges - By Organization Size
It seems some IT challenges have been over-
egged in the media. For instance, while there
have been endless stories about users setting
the agenda in deploying their own personal
mobile devices in the business, this does not
appear to perturb US user organizations all that
greatly. Only 26.2% o small organizations rated
it a top or major challenge while 40.7% o large
organizations did likewise.
Once again, costs emerge as a bigger challenge for large organizations
than smaller ones. 57.2% rate optimizing and controlling costs a top or
major challenge compared with 47.5% and 40.8% in medium and small
organizations respectively.
However, even in large organizations this pressure does not appear to
manifest itself as a manpower issue. Reduced IT headcount, insufcient
IT skills and pressure for outsourcing are not rated highly in the challenge
stakes. This could lead you to believe that downward cost pressure is
felt most by large organizations in areas such as upgrades and projects
rather than in the core of the IT department.
Almost across the board, the scale and complexity of large organizations
leads executives to rate many areas of IT challenge as more pressing
than for executives in smaller rms.

There are no magic tricks or IT vendors looking to win newbusiness. They will not get past frst base with prospective
customers unless they oer a price advantage, are willing to go
the extra mile to deliver high quality outcomes, and have a stable
fnancial oundation. We strongly believe these criteria should be
the core o any vendor or partners corporate strategy. Assuming
the top three considerations are met, the key things that vendors
can do to win business is use relationships, reerrals and ensure
that they are established as an approved supplier.
Competitive pricing is rated by 81.7% of respondents as a top or major consideration when
selecting vendors and partners. Close behind on 75.6% quality and timeliness of deliverables is
similarly important, and 63% view the nancial stability of the vendor as important.
Vendors without the above three qualities, should go back to the drawing board, but the especially
persistent may consider building and leveraging relationships. Emphasizing the importance of
personal connections, 53.9% of respondents rated referrals/recommendations as important.
Existing channel or partner relationships were rated a top or major consideration by 48.6% of
respondents.
Given the highly tangible nature of the top three criteria, its interesting that as many as 30.7% still
say brand name is of importance.
IT vendors will not get past frst base with prospective customers unles

Vendors and Partner Selection Criteria
By Organization SizeAll organizations are notably sensitive to price and expect
competitive rates, but mid-sized organizations appear slightly more
sensitive than the rest. Similarly, organizations o all sizes place a
high value on the quality and timeliness o deliverables.
Companies across the board price vendor nancial stability highly. However, it is large companies,
many of which have implemented structured procurement processes over the years, especially in
government, that most require suppliers to be approved (55% rating a top or major consideration).
Small organizations rank open source most strongly as a top or major procurement consideration
(25.9%). They also appear most receptive to referrals and recommendations (57.1%).

Vendors and Partner Selection Criteria
By Key VerticalsApproved supplier status (68.3%) is a more
important vendor selection criterion or
government than or other industries, but it is
education and healthcare that most value in
existing channel or partner relationships.
The Media/Publishing/Advertising sector most prizes cloud capability
from its vendors, almost certainly as a way to enable a distributed
workforce and mobility and to provide an exit from expensive legacy
technologies. That sector (53.4%) is close behind the IT and Technology
industry (55.6%) in placing highest value on Leading-edge technologies.
At 37.8% Media/ Publishing/Advertising also holds open source
technologies in higher regard than all other industry sectors. However,
it also leads in approving proprietary systems, albeit at a lower level
(28.9%).

Respondents report that current economic
conditions are having impacts in their
organizations. In itsel, that is ar rom
surprising. Global fnancial disruption has
maniested itsel in markets as volatility rather
than outright decline and IT is subject to that
as well.
Overall, the main reported impacts are reduced IT budgets (55.9% of
respondents), the need for a more thorough business case/justication
for new IT projects (54.4%) and IT budgets being revised more frequently
(51.2%).
While many report deferral of IT projects and having to go higher in their

Introduction
This section of the report highlights future implementation trends and existing deployments for
83 technologies across six technology categories: Software & Applications; Servers/Storage/
Datacenter; Network and Security; Communications; Hardware; IT Services, Support &
Management. To increase the accuracy of the results, we asked deployment intentions for each
category only to respondents who indicated in an earlier response that they had some level of
responsibility for the technological categories.
The Hot Technologies or 2012
Across All Technology Categories
There will be a strong ocus in 2012 on projects to develop web
applications while over the next two years that emphasis will
shit to applications on mobile devices (tablets and notebooks).
Organizations will also prioritize secure backup, recovery and
archiving and to improve access to integrated data across the
organization to support decision-making. Businesses will also
seek to extract value rom existing sta and technologies through
IT training initiatives and at the same time are looking to server
migration, virtualization and consolidation to simpliy architecture
and reduce IT costs.
The strongest priority is introduction of web applications, with 31.1% of businesses planning such
projects in the next 12 months.
30.9% of businesses will implement IT training in the same time frame, and 30.6% are implementing
backup, recovery and archiving systems.
