Two thirds of IT directors anticipate workloads rising in 2010, according to research from technology staffing specialist ReThink Recruitment.

The research also shows that 48% of IT directors now have a major concern about delivering IT projects and support within budget compared to last year (22%).

Michael Bennett, director, ReThink Recruitment, says: “For many IT departments this will be the second consecutive year in which budgets have not kept pace with workload demands. The pressure clearly remains on IT Directors to raise the output of their departments while in many cases budgets continue to be frozen or cut.”
