9:15AM Gartner sees IT spending increasing, but tough job market by Tomi Kilgore NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Market research firm Gartner Inc. said it expects U.S. spending on information technology to rise 5.5% in 2006, but spending as a percent of revenue is expected to decline at some organizations as revenue growth outpaces budget increases. The estimate is based on preliminary results of a survey of more than 1,500 IT managers from June through August. The IT industry job market is expected to remain challenging as some organizations plan to reduce budgets for IT contractors. "Despite the spending increase, the message to IT managers is clear: you must continue to improve the efficiency of established IT investment areas if you want to fund substantial growth in IT or add IT professionals to the workforce," said Gartner research vice president Barbara Gomolski. Spending on mobile devices will be a major priority, while spending on security will stabilize.
