The study also discovered that spending is expected to continue in 2023, with 68 per cent of local IT professionals wanting to increase software budgets while consolidating platforms and putting a premium on user-friendly and platform-integrated products. However, Australian respondents outpaced respondents from the United States and the United Kingdom in the poll, with 35 per cent identifying significant scope for improvement in their tools to raise overall productivity and efficiencies, compared to 29 per cent and 26 per cent, respectively. According to a Monday.com survey, more than half (56 per cent) of AUS IT decision-makers increased their software spending in 2022, and more than two-thirds (68 per cent) plan to do the same in 2023. The study also discovered that, with only 50 per cent using four or more platforms every day, Australians use the least number of software tools necessary for their daily job functions. Australian IT professionals are more likely to cut the total number of software platforms, stating that three or more tools might be deleted without hurting productivity, despite their more simplified use of platforms compared to US and UK decision-makers.
