VARs Eye Decent IT Spending In '08

Jennifer Bosavage reports that solution providers are 'cautiously optimistic' on IT spending in the coming year, and surveys of end user organizations tend to justify their attitude:

"In Mather's view, [Trevor Mather, CEO of ThoughtWorks] there is a large backlog of IT projects that just now are getting pushed to the fore...

But with companies saying they have the money to spend on IT, old foes are rearing their ugly heads. 'Financial firms and companies in general are finding it so difficult to find resources, to find good personnel; the supply of resources in the West is down. Recruiting companies are down with supply of qualified candidates,' said Mather."
