Even when faced with a discouraging economic outlook, CEOs, CIOs and top enterprise managers projected increased budgets and staffing needs for 2009. That’s according to a survey commissioned by the Society for Information Management (SIM) that was completed in June.
More than three-hundred respondents participated. The results showed that:
• 44% project their 2009 budgets will increase from 2008
• 43% estimate they will have a greater headcount in 2009 compared to 2008
• 75% project IT staff salaries will increase in 2009
• An average of 5.2% of IT budgets is anticipated to be spent on outsourcing (a 2%
increase from 2008)
While the survey was taken before the recent financial developments, SIM believes that the
results overall are very positive for the IT industry.
