Abstract

This IDC Market Presentation highlights the worldwide monthly technology investment monitor for November 2022. Beginning in early 2022, waves of interconnected economic, political, and social disruptions threatened to batter enterprises around the world for the next several years. Those organizations that try to navigate around the storms of disruption by delaying their digital investments risk find themselves behind their competitors when the recession is over, but all will need to adopt new recession response strategies in what would be the first recession of the as-a-service era. We continue to track how these ongoing storms of disruption impact technology investment and operational priorities.

IDC's Global Technology Thought Leadership group conducts a monthly survey (IDC's Future Enterprise Resiliency and Spending Survey) to understand how IT and business leaders in enterprises around the world are assessing risks and addressing cost management for their growing portfolio of technology resources. In the Wave 9 survey conducted in September/October 2022, IDC asked 817 IT decision makers in North America, Asia/Pacific, and Europe to indicate how concerns about inflation, recession skills shortages, and other developments are affecting investment plans in major technology sectors with a focus on customer experience, operations, and industry ecosystems.
