As enterprises continue their digital transformation efforts, shifting to \u2018pay for use\u2019 will continue. This sets enterprises up to deal with the sustained and rapid change that underscores digital business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Enterprise software will see the most impressive growth over the 12 months, with sending expected to increase by 8.3%. If this is separated out into its component parts, the true value of the cloud can be realised, with SaaS expected to grow by 22%.<\/p>\n<p>Cybersecurity software is the most popular projected investment for the enterprise, with privacy and securing businesses against the growing threat of attacks a primary concern for CIOs next year.<\/p>\n<p>Data centre systems aren&#8217;t far behind software, with growth expected to top 6%, although this isn&#8217;t a huge jump from 5018\u2019s anticipated increase of 5.7% compared to last year.<\/p>\n<p>Spending on IT services and devices will also play a big part in the overall growth, with spending increasing by 4.7% and 2.4% respectively. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>      Clare Hopping<\/p>\n<p>        22 Oct, 2018    <\/p>\n<p>       Gartner has predicted that cloud growth will be the primary reason IT spending will increase by 3.2% year on year in 2019.<br \/>\nThe analyst firm expects IT spending to top $3.8 trillion next year, &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":400,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36637","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36637","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/400"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36637"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36637\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36641,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36637\/revisions\/36641"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36637"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36637"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
