As 2012 comes to a close, we look with optimism to 2013 as Gartner predicts<\/a> that worldwide IT spending will surpass $3.7 trillion dollars next year.\u00a0 According to Peter Sondergaard, senior VP at Gartner, we will see a new trend of spending outside of IT departments. \u201cEvery budget is an IT budget,\u201d said Sondergaard during the annual Gartner Symposium\/ITexpo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The major influencers are corporate-wide adoptions of cloud computing<\/a>, big data projects and use of mobile technologies.\u00a0 Sondergaard gives the examples of how sales departments are using cloud-based CRM packages and marketing departments are increasing social media use.\u00a0 This trend will only accelerate as different departments adopt more and more cloud and mobile technologies.<\/p>\n

With growing technology demands, Gartner analysts also predict that 1.9 million IT jobs will be created in the United States by 2015.\u00a0 Sondergaard believes that only one-third of job positions will be filled due to lack of skilled applicants.\u00a0 So in the upcoming years, CIOs will be tasked with both supporting cloud and mobile technologies while developing their workforce.<\/p>\n

These predictions solidify the importance for CIOs to look at outside data centers for colocation<\/a>, managed servers<\/a> and cloud hosting.\u00a0 If outside department demands accelerate as Gartner thinks, IT departments will be challenged with trying to support multiple departments as well as their own demanding IT projects \u2013 and doing all of this with a lower skilled workforce.<\/p>\n

Outsourcing your data center<\/a> allows your IT team to focus on your business support needs and not focusing on managing a data center.\u00a0 You automatically can have a fully knowledgeable support team that is in charge of your managed dedicated servers.<\/p>\n

Colocation providers have the staff that understands data security, high availability, and the strict HIPAA<\/a> and PCI<\/a> policies, procedures and compliance regulations.\u00a0 With someone else managing your data center, your IT staff team can spend time developing applications and supporting corporate wide needs and initiatives.<\/p>\n

As we come to a close on 2012, do you agree with Gartner predictions for 2013?\u00a0 What are your 2013 trend predictions?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
