Organizations with increasing IT budgets: 2006-2011.
In our annual CBR IT Budgeting issue, Bob Benson took a look at the growth (or lack thereof) of the overall IT spend. According to Benson, "This graph basically reflects the path of the current economy: 2009 was the low point of the "first" recession, while 2010 and 2011 showed some recovery. It is entirely imaginable that 2012 will reflect 2009's pattern. The economic uncertainty we're experiencing today will be reflected in overall IT spending and likely show a flat line or decline in ongoing IT investment."
