However, even if most companies continue to adopt conservative it investment attitudes in anticipation of a U-shaped recovery in the global economy, corporate IT investments can still grow by 4.4%.

This year, 60% of the enterprise's IT budget is 0 growth, 60.5% of the enterprise did not delete a hair it budget, also did not add a dime; and the IT budget has grown enterprises accounted for 14.8%, as for this year to reduce IT investment enterprises, accounted for 15.5%.
