Gartner reported in its “IT Key Metrics Data: Executive Summary,” that up to 90% of IT budgets are consumed by legacy support and enhancements, leaving only 10% for vital transformation projects*. Ongoing necessary annual spend on support of licensed software and associated hardware products accounts for a significant proportion of the yearly funds available to the CIO.  

Enabled by the Right to Repair legislation, third-party support delivers greater choice and control over how scarce resources are directed for U.K. enterprises.
