IT Spending Forecast, 2Q16 Update: New Options Are Disrupting Established Markets

You're invited to the High-Tech Tuesday Webinar Series

Discussion Topics:

Where Gartner sees IT spending growth in 2016 through 2019
Digital alternatives, beyond cloud that are disrupting established markets
The harmful effects alternatives can have on adjacent markets

2016 marks the start of an amazing dichotomy. The pace of change in IT will never again be as slow as it is now, but, global IT spending growth is best described as lackluster. 2016 is the year that business focus returns to growth, digital business, IoT and even algorithmic business. To fund these new initiatives, many businesses are turning to new digital alternatives to save money, simplify operations and speed time to value. It is precisely this new breadth of alternatives to traditional IT that will fundamentally reshape what is bought, who buys it and how much will be spent. In this webinar, we walk through three different examples of digital alternatives and demonstrate the effects that they are having on the markets that they play in as well as the deleterious effects they can have on adjacent markets.
