Amid signs that the economy is crawling back to health, IT strategies are shifting from the cost-cutting mode of the past two years to an orientation toward innovation, according to recent Forrester Research analysis.

A healthy chunk of that increased spending will be targeted toward the new technologies business users are clamoring for, and IT sourcing professionals will be asked to analyze the risks and benefits.
