ADAPT reveals how CIOs budgets are split across CapEx and OpEx, revenue streams and the percentage of allocation to areas within the IT portfolio.
Key Takeaways
- In the ADAPT sample, there are behavioural factors within the CIOs control that impact on the probability of losing budget.
- There is a year-on-year increase in the percentage of budget applied to OpEx over CapEx. The increase is explained by an uptake of SaaS applications and moving mission-critical workloads to the cloud.
- While attracting and retaining talent, and skill shortages are a top focus for CIOs, there is only a 4% allocation of budget towards training and development.
