Deltek Survey Finds Contrast in Federal IT Spending Outlooks of Clients, Service Providers

Deltek has published a study that shows contrasts how federal executives and service providers view future investments in the information technology sector, the Washington Post reported Monday.

Angie Petty, a senior principal analyst at the Herndon-based IT solutions developer, writes companies look forward to constant demand for modernization projects that involve the cloud, big data and related services.

The survey found participants from the government forecast minimal changes to IT-related budgets over three years, with a possible $10 billion drop in five years.

Petty reports shared services and sourcing programs could become priority areas for agencies and providers will see the greatest effects from fixed price contracts and small business ventures.
