2009 IT Spending: Generally Flat

According to research published by Computer Economics, Inc. on 2009 IT spending:

about 34% of IT organizations have cut 2009 budget

About 11% have increased IT budgets

About 54% have no change in budget from 2008

Doing more with the same or less requires better project and operations planning.  That is why SEER for Software and SEER for IT are used by organizations looking to optimize their productivity within scarce budgets.
