In news which may interest those looking for new IT jobs, silicon.com editor Steve Ranger pointed out that many firms reduced their investment in technology during the economic downturn, in a bid to save money.
He explained that many companies have been tempted to make do with their older IT systems rather than invest in expensive projects to upgrade them, but this has spurred technology firms to look at new ways of offering their services.
'[The recession] has made companies more willing to experiment with new ways of delivering IT - whether that is through outsourcing or offshoring or adopting cutting edge technologies such as cloud computing,' the expert commented.
Last week, a report by technology association Intellect claimed that the UK IT industry has an opportunity to capitalise on the economic recovery, as companies boost their investment in technology to survive increased competition and unstable markets.
