Study: 'Corporate IT Spend is Actually Rising, Not Falling'

We spotted this today:

"One new indicator of corporate spending on information technology shows a surprising 6 percent rise in the second quarter, and not the 3 percent slippage that the researchers had expected.

The study, by Maven Wave Partners, also noted a 9.1 percent increase in spending on the IT work force, which it saw as the driver of the 6 percent overall tech spending number."
