1 Trends in ICT budgets

1.1 Introduction

This report presents the findings from a survey of X German enterprises regarding their Information &

Communication Technology (ICT) budgets and staff allocation. The survey investigates how German enterprises

currently allocate their ICT budgets across the core areas of enterprise ICT spend, namely hardware, software, IT

services, communications and consulting. The report also illustrates with whom German enterprises prefer to invest

their ICT Euros, thereby providing visibility into the opportunities for ICT vendors and service providers. Trends in

ICT spending are identified through to the end of 2013 following feedback from respondents on their forthcoming

investment plans.

The survey was conducted in September 2012 via an online methodology, with respondents all having ICT decision

maker responsibility (typically CIOs and IT Managers). Kable plans to repeat the survey in the second half of 2013,

in order to monitor ICT budget changes on an ongoing basis.
