Spending on technology and services that enable digital transformation (DX) is expected to reach $2.3 trillion (\u00a31.8 trillion) by 2023, findings from an updated worldwide spending guide reports.<\/p>\n
The International Data Corporation\u2019s (IDC) \u00a0Worldwide Semi-annual Digital Transformation Spending Guide<\/a> focused on looking at DX within business practices, products, and organisations.<\/p>\n Program vice president with IDC’s\u00a0Customer Insights and Analysis Group<\/a>, Eileen Smith, believes that in the next four years, worldwide technology investments will total over $7.4 trillion (\u00a3 5.7 trillion).<\/p>\n She says: “Industries have achieved varying levels of maturity to date and continue to pursue their DX objectives. The financial services sector will see the fastest overall growth with the banking, insurance, and security and investment services industries each delivering CAGRs of more than 19% over the forecast period. The distribution and services sector which includes industries like retail and professional services will also outpace the overall market with an 18.0% CAGR while public sector spending growth will match the overall market at 17.1%.”<\/p>\n The largest amount of spending will come from discrete and process manufacturing, the report forecasts, which will account for nearly 30% of the worldwide total. These industries include automatic operations, root cause and robotic manufacturing. \u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Alex Guillen, Technology Strategist at Insight<\/a> comments that he expected no different from the outcome of the report. He says: \u201cIt\u2019s little surprise that digital transformation is set to take over such a large proportion of IT spending. It\u2019s not only a vital priority for organisations that want to improve their business processes and drive new opportunities. It\u2019s also a difficult, complex process that needs significant investment and widespread business support to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n The strategist goes on to talk about the growing pressure on IT teams as well as discussing the help that digital transformation<\/a> can have on this problem. \u201cThere is no quick fix to reconciling this burden; investment and technology alone won\u2019t solve the pressure IT teams are under. Instead, digital transformation needs to be an enterprise-wide priority, with responsibility shared across the business. Without this change in corporate culture, the pressure on IT teams will only increase.\u201d<\/p>\nA fast-growing sector<\/h4>\n

Teams need to know what they are doing<\/h4>\n
