Uncertainty Impacts Budget Planning

Thirty percent of IT professionals surveyed say global political and economic uncertainty directly impacts their organizations' willingness to buy IT products and services.

An even larger 47 percent agree that such uncertainty causes their businesses to reconsider what countries they store corporate data in, with inconsistent privacy regulations between the countries a key concern.

The takeaway: U.S.-based solution providers that host corporate data should be comforted by the survey result that the U.S. poses the lowest investment risk. The highest risks are in Brazil, India and China, according to the results.
