Global IT spend could hit $4 trillion next year

Image Description

Spending on IT across the world is set to remain high next year as companies across the world look to get fully up to speed following the pandemic, new research has claimed.

Market analysts Gartner expect worldwide IT spending to total $4.5 trillion in 2022, as the post-pandemic recovery continues and working from home and hybrid work takes an even greater hold among businesses everywhere. 

Companies are expected to spend increasing sums of money on virtually all subsets of IT, with enterprise software expecting to have the highest growth - increasing 11.5% year-on-year - with infrastructure software spending continuing to outpace that on application software. 

Spending on IT services is expected to grow 8.6%, while data center systems spending will grow 5.8%.

Global spending growth on devices peaked in 2021 (15.1%), Gartner says, mostly due to increased demand from remote professionals, the rising popularity of telehealth, as well as remote learning. Still, Gartner analysts don’t expect a significant retrace in 2022. Next year, spending on devices will still show an uptick, as enterprises seek to upgrade devices and/or invest in multiple devices to further facilitate remote and hybrid work.

Building software instead of buying software

Overall, spending levels will be lower next year, compared to 2021. To John-David Lovelock, distinguished research vice president at Gartner, the key reason for this is because businesses are more inclined towards building their own technologies and software, rather than buying and implementing them.

“However, digital tech initiatives remain a top strategic business priority for companies as they continue to reinvent the future of work, focusing spending on making their infrastructure bulletproof and accommodating increasingly complex hybrid work for employees going into 2022,” Lovelock concluded.

For the next year, CIOs should “reconfigure how work is done”, by embracing business composability and various technologies that accommodate asynchronous workflows. The analyst firm describes business composability as “the mindset, technologies, and set of operating capabilities that enable organizations to innovate and adapt quickly to changing business needs”.

Business composability’s main principle is modularity to business assets, as that allows organizations to scale quickly and seamlessly.

  • Elden Ring has all the trimmings on console, but PC players won't be happy

    Elden Ring has a maximum framerate of 60fps on PC – an arbitrary technical restraint that we’ve sadly seen before from several FromSoftware PC ports.

    The news will no doubt frustrate those who were planning to buy Elden Ring on PC, especially as the game has all the trimmings despite the framerate cap: HDR support, 4K output, and a 60fps performance mode on PS5 and Xbox Series X (thanks, Eurogamer).

    The game will also include ray tracing on PC and consoles, which is rather unexpected. An update will arrive later “via a patch”, but it’s unclear whether this will be available at launch or sometime after the game’s release. 

    We also don’t know what PC specs will be required to adequately run Elden Ring, but it’s clear those with higher-end setups will be left wanting when it comes to performance. 

    We recently saw 15 minutes of Elden Ring in action, and it looks like the latest addition to the ‘Soulsborne’ craze is shaping up nicely. The upcoming action RPG is a more expansive take on previous entries in the series and has been made in collaboration with Game of Thrones creator, George R.R. Martin.

    Analysis: frame caps on PC make no sense 

    The news of Elden Ring’s frame cap will undoubtedly be met with frustration from PC players. One of the biggest advantages that PC owners tend to enjoy over console games is faster, and significantly higher framerates. Depending on your hardware and the game, it’s possible to reach framerates of up to 360fps.

    Unfortunately, Elden Ring’s technical limitation isn’t too surprising. Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3 were notorious for their lackluster PC conversions, with the games locking players to 30fps and 60fps respectively. 

    It means that those who want to play at a higher framerate in Elden Ring will have to once again turn to a mod or workaround post-launch, which isn’t an ideal solution by any means.

    There’s no doubt that Elden Ring is shaping up to be one of the biggest games of 2022. Even though the Soulsborne games aren’t for everyone, the punishingly difficult genre has earned a cult-like following within the gaming community, which will only get bigger after Elden Ring’s release. 

    Players will get to battle all sorts of mythical monstrosities when the game releases on February 25, 2022, on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC.
