About IT Spending by SMBs

SMBs drive national economies by increasing employment and contributing to GDP growth. The economic development of a country heavily depends on the success ratio of SMBs in the country. SMBs use technology to accelerate their performance and enhance productivity. These entities are heavily investing in technology to automate routine tasks, improve quality, enhance customer service, raise profitability, establish effective communications, and speed up time-to-market.
The IT requirements of SMBs differ from large enterprises, as the former have limited IT budgets. Small-sized firms seek IT solutions that can help them grow by implementing IT in their business models for long-term sustainable growth. In the last five years, the priorities of SMBs have been redefined with the growing awareness of the benefits of using IT in business (in terms of top line and bottom line). A sharp focus on server and storage virtualization technologies, mobility, big data analytics, business intelligence (BI), cloud computing, next-gen workspace, and collaboration technologies has shaped these priorities. Medium-sized businesses are investing in IT to gain a stronger financial position in the business cycle.

Technavio’s analysts forecast the Global IT spending by SMBs to grow at a CAGR of 5.91% during the period 2016-2020.
