After a cautious start in 2005, companies in Australia and New Zealand are expecting continued IT budget growth over the next 12 months, with Microsoft and IBM cashing in at the expense of SAP and Oracle, according to a new report.
According research group Forrester's Business Technographics December 2005 Asia Pacific IT Budgets And Spending Survey, 33% of firms anticipate a budget increase of an average of 5% in 2006. Even the percent of funds going toward new investments has increased to a healthier 26% — up 8% over last year — with security, disaster recovery, infrastructure consolidation, and application renewal garnering the most attention.
However, when it comes to application renewal, many companies are returning to a do-it-yourself development and integration style. The beneficiaries of this increased development activity are Microsoft and IBM, as people turn away from packaged solutions vendors like SAP and Oracle/PeopleSoft, according to the 13-page report.
