Nearly 50 percent of North American and European companies involved in "the 2018 State of IT" survey by Spiceworks said they hoped to increase their information technology (IT) budgets by 19 percent this year. They'll be allocating more money to software and hardware, including networking systems, cloud-based services, mobile technology, servers, external storage, and IT managed services. Around 60 percent of the respondents expected their revenues to increase in tandem with their growing technology budgets.
