Tech investment strategy often determines the winners and losers in today’s tech-fueled landscape, where collaboration between finance and IT is critical to success. In line with this, Spiceworks’ 2024 State of IT report states that 66% of companies are gearing up to increase their IT budgets for 2024 (vs. only 4% planning to decrease it), and 84% of companies in that study indicated being worried about a recession in 2024. This means maximizing the yield of every tech dollar spent is core to success in 2024.
Improving collaboration, budgeting and resource planning can challenge even the most agile organizations, particularly in light of pending marketing shocks or issues, such as inflation, competitors, and changing customer demand.
