Global research firm Gartner today said the information technology spends of Centre and State governments will increase 9.5 per cent to $7.8 billion in 2017.
Even though the research firm did not attribute any specific reasons for its estimates in the press statement, it can be noted that this comes amid a greater thrust on technology through campaigns like ‘Digital India’.
The IT spends include investments in internal services, software, IT services, data centre systems, devices and telecom services, it said.
