Since March of 2020, ETR has been conducting a higher-level macro overview survey to determine overall spending budgets and trends impacting the enterprise technology landscape. In the October 2023 iteration, over 1,730 IT decision makers participated in the Macro Views Survey, weighing in on overall budgets, spending priorities, hiring trends and wages, rate of new IT deployments, remote work, and much more. In addition, the macro survey also overlaps the higher-level spending direction with our vendor-specific TSIS data to see which vendors are impacted the most (and least) by directional spending movements. In this article, we will provide a glimpse into some of the key findings from the survey and ensuing data report dealing with IT budgets, information security priorities, and generative AI.
