Wouldn't we all like to know which solutions or services our customers will be looking to buy? Spiceworks Ziff Davis (SWZD) surveyed 1,000+ technology buyers from companies in North America and Europe for its annual State of IT Report to see what 2022 has in store for IT budgets and tech trends. For example, most companies expect to have more revenue—and they plan to use more of it for buying technology. The tech they're looking at more than before includes Cloud and managed services, and they'll be looking at security solutions, among others.
