We can’t deny that the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has boosted not only the digitalization inside companies but also the investments in IT.
Fundamentally, to keep yourself competitive in the market and adapted to the “new normal” of customer service, the number of companies that invest in digital and smart solutions grows every day. The tendency, however, is that these solutions will grow even more until the end of the year, according to surveys from Gartner.
IT investments will be a priority during and post-pandemic.
According to a survey from Gartner, the Information Technology global market should move US$ 4.2 trillions until the end of the year. The value represents an increase of 8,6% in relation to 2020. For 2022, the prevision is that the IT market grows by 5,3%.
Talking about the Brazilian market, the estimation is that the investments in IT grew 20% until the end of the year, according to a survey from IT iMonitor consultancy. Sales are projected to increase in the education, healthcare and retail segments, as well as in the areas of cloud solutions, security, analysis tools and products that are satellite to the business management system.
Experts explain that the increase estimated for the IT sector is due to the fact that companies’ leaders are looking for partners that can think beyond the 2020 sprints and beyond the 2021 digital transformation efforts. This means building technologies and services that doesn’t exist to stand out in a highly competitive market.
Besides that, these professionals claimed that even with the revenue affected by the coronavirus pandemic, the IT spending will be a priority and should keep itself above the revenue expectations.
According to them, CEOs and executive leadership are more willing to invest in technologies that have a clear link to their business results.
The IT area is among the top 3 with the highest growth throughout the year, according to Gartner.
According to Gartner, IT investments will be so high that the area of services alone is expected to move around US$ 1.2 trillion in 2021. The value represents an increase of 9.8% compared to 2020. This investment places the area among the three with the highest growth throughout the year.
According to the survey, this accelerated rhythm is boosted by the investment in infrastructure as a service, once that it offers support to mission-critical workloads and reduces costs.
Other IT investments that should have a significant increase throughout the year are the devices (13,9%), company’s software (13,2%), Data Center systems (7,4%) and communication services (3,5%) sectors.
The data presented above made clear that IT investments are already a trend and prove the companies’ need to invest in smart solutions to follow the digital market accelerated growth.
Digital tools will be a trend to keep up with digital transformation in companies, according to an expert.
Gartner experts explained that IT global spending projections reflect the acceleration of the digital transformation process in companies, the latter boosted by the coronavirus pandemic.
According to them, digital transformation can no longer be acquired overnight. In addition, as the world continues to open itself to the digital, companies will invest in tools that support innovation, operations at any place and employee’s productivity and confidence.
Therefore, it is clear, once more, the importance of companies to invest in smart solutions to adapt themselves to the digital industry acceleration and keep themselves competitive.
