New research findings reveal that most successful organisations allocate more budget to IT infrastructure outsourcing. Independent researchers, Vanson Bourne, compiled the study in February 2009 for Savvis, a global leader in IT infrastructure services for business applications.
Amongst the 314 IT decision makers surveyed in the United Kingdom, the United States and Singapore, as many as 51% think their companies are doing ‘well’ or ‘very well’ despite the global recession. Deeper analysis reveals a new breed of IT leader has emerged who is forward-thinking and understands how to use technology as a strategic business tool.
Key findings included:
- 67% of respondents state they are having to do more with less budget in 2009
- 32% more of the total IT budget is allocated to infrastructure outsourcing by IT organisations self identified as succeeding in the downturn
- 17% of the IT budget is on average attributed to outsourcing in the UK, 22% in the US and 27% in Singapore
- 52% of IT executives noted that the greatest cost savings will emanate from reducing infrastructure costs, reducing staff levels (49%) and a virtualisation strategy (44%)
“Savvis’ research shows that the IT leaders who report that their organisations are ‘doing well’ have taken a number of key measures to enable their companies to succeed during the downturn. A key component of this is adoption of an outsourced IT infrastructure model,” explains Melanie Posey, an industry analyst at IDC. “In contrast, IT leaders whose businesses are not doing well are focused to a greater extent on cost reduction rather than organisational transformation.”
