    Persisting macroeconomic uncertainty is not dampening IT investment plans as organizations rush to outfit their environments with the transformative potential of AI while ensuring their valuable data—data inevitably fed into large language models—is kept secure. To track these trends, Informa TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 1,351 senior IT and business decision-makers to ascertain IT budget outlooks for 2025, both overall and for specific technologies, and to determine the key business and technology priorities driving these spending plans. Survey respondents were employed at midmarket (100 to 999 employees) and enterprise-class (1,000 employees or more) organizations in North America, EMEA, APAC, and Latin America. All respondents were personally responsible for or familiar with their organization’s 2024 IT spending, as well as their 2025 IT budget and spending plans at either an entire organization level or a business unit, division, or branch level.

  • LogicMonitor Brings Foundation for High Impact AI to Hybrid Observability

    ·

    Jim Frey

    As modern applications are often no longer tied to their underlying infrastructure, consist of numerous loosely coupled microservices, and can rapidly move and scale, corporate IT needs urgent help to understand and prioritize the potential impact of the yellow and red lights on their monitoring dashboards. This is where observability must come in, in place of traditional monitoring, to save the day. While monitoring is a mostly static discipline based on the collection of predefined metrics and logs—often separate from applications, infrastructure, and services to detect anomalies or failures—observability provides deeper insights into the key factors influencing application performance and resilience.

  • Third-party Vendors Find a Niche Within the Data Resilience Ecosystem

    ·

    Jon Brown

    Due to the criticality of data to virtually all operations today, data resilience is a major focus for infrastructure and cybersecurity teams alike. One need only look at security incidents at Colonial Pipeline and Change Healthcare to understand the enterprise concern. While many look to third-party tools for help with the important task of data discovery in support of resilience, a significant contingent of organizations prefer internally developed tools. Recent research by TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group found that the decision to use third-party vendor services or internally developed data discovery tools can correlate to organizational priorities and affect data resilience solution adoption.

  • How Commercial Discovery and Classification Tools Can Ease Data Resilience Skill Shortage Impacts

    ·

    Jon Brown

    While even the best-resourced IT organization can perpetually feel like they need more help on hand to contend with the intense cybersecurity threat landscape, some organizations are solving the situation by deploying third-party tools to supersede internally developed tools. Internal resource constraints are forcing firms to find novel ways of stretching thin pools of expertise and resources to achieve an acceptable cybersecurity posture. When it comes to the critical task of ensuring resilience from attacks or even accidental corruption for precious data assets, recent research by TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group found that organizations lacking skill sets are more likely to deploy commercial tools for data discovery and classification rather than develop and maintain internally developed tools.

  • Modern Business Is Multi-cloud by Design

    ·

    Scott Sinclair

    Deploying applications in the optimal location is a critical task for IT professionals and developers today as running applications in the wrong environment can result in a variety of consequences, ranging from cost overruns to cybersecurity incidents. When it comes to applications that need to run in the cloud, the decision for many organizations can become which cloud, because their environments comprise multiple public cloud service providers (CSPs). Recent research by TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group revealed that rather than being a result of haphazard additions of CPSs over time, businesses are deliberately bolstering their application deployment strategies with multiple clouds.
