Asia Pacific CIO Budgets And Priorities In 2013

Forrester regularly surveys business technology (BT) decision-makers about their IT budgets and priorities to help our clients align their own investments. The Forrsights Budgets And Priorities Tracker Survey, Q4 2012 surveyed more than 1,400 IT and business decision-makers in the Asia Pacific (AP) region about their intentions for their IT budgets in 2013. The survey results reveal that the inevitable transformation of enterprise IT to BT is occurring across the entire Asia Pacific region. This change will no doubt occur at varying paces and along different courses of action depending on an organization's location, industry, size, and culture. But the underlying trend is clear: BT isn't just another acronym in Asia Pacific, but a fundamental shift in the sourcing and delivery models for IT services across the region. It's critical that CIOs understand the full implications of these trends in order to make their own IT-to-BT transitions successful.
