Executive Summary
European IT spending has returned to health in 2004, with companies planning to dedicate an average of almost 5% of their total revenues to IT. A first look at IT budgets for 2005 indicates further IT spending upside. Centralization of IT departments and vendor management groups has spread across Europe's IT organizations: French companies exemplify this shift, with three-quarters of companies surveyed operating centralized IT groups. The role that business units and IT departments play in the technology purchasing process has found a new balance: 60% of European companies involve business units in the early stages of enterprise app purchases.
