Happy days may be here again.
According to a recent survey conducted by
SearchDatabase.com and other TechTarget Web sites, the dark clouds that
have all but smothered IT budgets over the last few years may be
about to blow over.
Of the nearly 750 enterprise IT pros who participated in TechTarget's 2004 IT
Spending Survey, sixty-two percent reported that their overall IT
budgets will increase in 2004. It seems many of those IT projects
once relegated to the proverbial backburner will finally make it out
of the box.

Small-to-midsize businesses are most likely to take advantage of this
optimistic trend. Tom Pohlmann, vice president and research director
for Mass.-based Forrester Research, points out that recent
Technographics research predicts only modest spending increases -- 32
percent -- among companies with at least $500 million in annual
revenue.
Is your enterprise going to hop on this bandwagon or do you feel a more cautious approach is warranted? What kind of projects are first in line: integration, business intelligence, storage, upgrades, or somthing else? Email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and let me know your thoughts.
Cheers, Tim
