Abstract
This IDC study examines the changes affecting IT equipment, software
and services management, and acquisition practices, including longer life cycles,
rising interest in open source software, and services trends such
as outsourcing.
"Changes resulting from the recent economic turbulence are resulting
in substantial changes to business and technology management models that
will echo for several years, creating a "new normal" for
IT budgets, capital availability, and technology adoption models," says Joseph
Pucciarelli, program director, Technology Financial and Executive Strategies.
