Global head of research at Gartner, Peter Sondergaard revealed Gartner’s forecast for 2012 enterprise IT spending at the Gartner Symposium/ITxpo.
Sondergaard says the second recession is about to hit.
Despite this, Gartner expects global enterprise IT spending to grow at a steady rate of 4% through to 2015. However, 2012 will only see 3.9% growth due to a slow down in Western Europe and Japan.
Gartner believes the economy will impact IT budgets in 2012.
