Healthy SME Communications Spending Forecast
The typically highly reliable Knecko Burney, owner of Compass Intelligence, predicts that U.S. spending for nearly every category of small and mid-sized business spending for information technology and communications will be headed north for the next five years. About the only things SMEs will be spending less on are PCs, truly a commodity, as well as personnel. Software, communications, network infrastructure and support all are headed north at about an eight to 10 percent rate over the forecast period.
