Web Site Spending Continues to Rise<< Computing's Tide Carries Fun and Games Back to the Data Center | Main | Stopping by NYU for Inspiration: The Spatula of Death >> David Schatsky | May 08, 2007, 09:44 AM I recently had the opportunity to write our annual report on site operations spending trends. A few key takeaways: most sites, especially big-company sites, are expecting facing significant increases in site operations budgets--for the third year running. My favorite counterintuitive finding: despite the reputation of open source Web stacks and apps and cheapy hardware lowering the cost of Web development, among our survey resondents, anyway, not only are costs rising, but the share of spending allocated across categories such as salaries, software, hardware, hosting, development, integration, maintenance, and content development has remained remarkably consistent (on average) over the years. This suggests that, at least among larger companies, stuff still costs money. Clients, if you want to dig down into the data, drop us a line. |
