(MoneyNewsWire.Net, January 24, 2019 ) Summary
A larger proportion of utilities have indicated that they are increasing their ICT spend in 2016 compared to the previous year.
Key Findings
- Networking equipment and cyber security hardware are the two biggest items on utilities' hardware budget, likely driven by the related challenges to security and communications posed by smarter systems
- Software licenses are still the largest single item in software budgets-many utility-specific solutions are not available through XaaS models and utilities are still spending significant sums on licensing specialist and custom software such as energy market models
- IaaS is the fastest growing cloud solution, in terms of new investment
