4 1 Trends in ICT budgets 1.1 Introduction This report presents the findings from a survey of healthcare providers regarding their Information & Communications Technology (ICT) budgets and staff allocation. The survey investigates how healthcare providers currently allocate their ICT budgets across the core areas of enterprise ICT spend, namely hardware, software, IT services, communications and consulting. The report also illustrates with whom healthcare providers prefer to invest their ICT money, thereby providing visibility into the opportunities for ICT vendors and service providers. Trends in ICT spending are identified through to the end of 2013 following feedback from respondents on their forthcoming investment plans. The survey was conducted in September 2012 via an online methodology, with respondents all having ICT decision maker responsibility (typically CIOs and IT Managers). Kable plans to repeat the survey in the second half of 2013, in order to monitor ICT budget changes on an ongoing basis. 1.2 Survey demographics Figure 1: Healthcare enterprise ICT survey geographic breakdown Healthcare - enterprise ICT survey geographic breakdown US France Germany Spain UK Italy Middle East Australia Others respondents ICT budget and staffing trends in Healthcare P a g e 4 / The id Factor Ltd / + 44 (0)
