A report by Forrester ? predicts tech spending growth will shrink from
7 percent increases in 2005 and 2006 to an anemic 2 percent growth in
2007, puts an historical spin on IT spending. Forrester notes that
when the GDP falls, tech spending falls even more. This will be
especially true now, while most companies are investing only in
technologies that offer tangible ROI, Forrester says. The firm expects
spending to rebound in 2008, as a new cycle of technology innovation
begins. Forrester predicts a new IT architecture stack will begin to
emerge, with cheap, virtualized hardware and network resources at the
bottom, shared software and services in the middle, and business
intelligence and interaction platforms ? not a cherry ? at the top.?
