According to a survey of the delegates at a recent IDC conference in London, spending on Dynamic IT - defined by IDC as IT designed to provide efficient, high-performance IT capability that effectively supports the rapid pace of business change - represents one-third of annual IT expenditure.
We asked respondents how Dynamic IT had affected their organizationsí IT financing or procurement plans, said Vanessa Brown, senior research analyst at IDC UK. Most notably, Dynamic IT capabilities are expected to lead to improved return on investment. This suggests that in planning for a Dynamic IT framework, organizations see the business value potential and are prepared to make investments to realize this rather than focusing on squeezing costs.
