UK IT expenditure over the next 12 monthsis set to beat inflation, says the National Computing
Centre (NCC).
Expenditure on IT is remaining buoyant despite an uncertain
economic outlook, said the NCC.
A survey it conducted among 120 firms found that 58% are
predicting an above-inflation increase in IT expenditure over the
next 12 months.
The median growth rate in IT expenditure reported was 4.9%,
outstripping the January CPI inflation figure of 2.2%.
The construction and health sectors are set to see the highest
growth, said NCC.
