Four technologies offering best investment profile in 2009

Over at Computer Economics, we've released our new study, Technology Trends and IT Management Best Practices 2009/2010. It's based on our annual survey, which also produces our IT spending and staffing benchmarks.

For the first time this year, we not only analyzed each technology in isolation but also in comparison with each other, looking at adoption vs. current investment levels as well as risk versus reward (cost versus payback). In doing this we found four technologies that stand out as having the strongest investment characteristics: server virtualization, storage virtualization, unified communications, and cloud computing.

You can read a summary of these findings on our website.

You can also download the first nine pages of the full report, free.

The full report also analyzes adoption trends for 10 selected IT management best practices.
