Small jump seen for software spending Worldwide software spending should stage a modest recovery this year, after several years of decline, according to a study released Monday by research firm Gartner Dataquest. Global software spending is expected to hit $76.1 billion in 2003, a 3.5 percent increase over the $73.5 billion spent in 2002, according to the report.
