This is the first time in recent years that world-class IT organizations have spent more than typical companies. According to Hackett, the research data indicates this increased spending is being driven by world-class IT organizations restructuring their workforces, enhancing the skill and experience level of their staff to improve their ability to deliver competitive advantage and provide strategic support.

World-class IT organizations now report they have moved most of their technology portfolio to shared services, and spend significantly more than typical companies on outsourcing in key areas.
