Forrester recently released its US technology spend outlook, which includes data on tech spend and lays out how businesses should position their firms’ tech spending plans (see image below). Key findings show that:

  • While overall US tech market growth in 2016 will be subdued at 4.3% because of weak demand for hardware and licensed software, spending on business technology will increase by more than 10%, exceeding half of all new project spending.
  • Cloud adoption will hit a tipping point this year, as firms’ use of software-as-a-service (SaaS) as a replacement for existing software will hit critical mass.
  • Next year will be a better year for the US tech market, and Forrester forecasts 5.1% growth overall and 8.9% growth for BT spending.
