However, when the size is multiplied by much complex process and documents handling, leveraging on technology such as automation is difficult to avoid. IT and business leaders still have to manage the company operations, weighing communication between clients and employees effectively requires an easy-to-use platform. For example, Microsoft 365 and Zoho Workplace to keep email communication and file sharing seamless, but yet secured to protect the company data assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IT spending for a company is one of the critical expenses of the company\u2019s annual budget.

Because it depends on the company\u2019s operational size, types of industry and business challenges. But, one of the key metric used by most corporates is to calculate their IT spending as a percentage of revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s a list of average IT spending according to different industry:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"586\" height=\"347\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brandswift.my\/qloudmsp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IT-Spend-by-Industry.png\" alt=\"IT Spend by Industry\" class=\"wp-image-10777\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brandswift.my\/qloudmsp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IT-Spend-by-Industry.png 586w, https:\/\/www.brandswift.my\/qloudmsp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IT-Spend-by-Industry-300x178.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 586px) 100vw, 586px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flexera.com\/blog\/technology-value-optimization\/it-spending-by-industry\/\">https:\/\/www.flexera.com\/blog\/technology-value-optimization\/it-spending-by-industry\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can obviously see that the IT spending for a company depends how much the company relies on IT in their business operation.
