The forecasts of IT spending by Gartner dashed represent an important indicator of the major technology trends in the areas of hardware, software, IT services and telecommunications.

John-David Lovelock, research vice president for Gartner, notes: “The growth in the value of the dollar is the cause of the results of 2015. Net sales of US multinationals has faced a headwind in terms of exchange , in 2015. During 2016 these strengths will unravel, and they can count on a growth of 5%. ”

Device Market (PC, ultra-mobile, mobile phones, tablets and printers) will see a reduction in spending of 1.9% over 2016.
