2020 and beyond is all about digital transformation for business. Global IT spending is expected to continue to grow in 2020, increasing 3.7 percent to over $3.8 trillion as enterprise software, cloud, and digital transformation projects boost growth. (Source: Economic Times reporting on Gartner forecast).

​

For small to medium sized businesses, typically slower to adopt new technologies than larger corporations, this means they must carefully align their technology with growth objectives. 

​

If you aren’t aligning business goals with IT strategy, you should be. Smart business leaders understand the impact IT has on scaling and protecting their business. There are many critical decisions business leaders have to make going into 2020 and beyond. Those critical decisions include looking at new technology to enhance system performance and efficiency, understanding business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities, enhancing cybersecurity capabilities to mitigate risk on the system and human level and potentially, replacing old or underutilized servers and moving specific or all workloads to the cloud. Technology is changing fast, and re-evaluating how IT both serves and enables the success of your business is prudent.
