Small and midsize businesses will lead the way in IT spending growth in 2004, Forrester Research said last week in a report.
According to Forrester analyst Meredith Child, the author of a survey that polled more than 1,000 technology decision makers at small and midsize companies in North America, small and midsize businesses will increase their IT spending by 6.6% this year from 2003.
