IT Budget Season Series Part II

Description

IT Budget Season Series Part II

Most IT budgets are still built the same way: take last year’s number, add a little, and hope nothing breaks. That doesn’t hold up anymore. 

Cybersecurity risk is rising, hardware prices have climbed sharply, and AI is now a real, growing line item every business needs to plan for. 

In this session, CMIT Solutions’ Mike Minkler will walk through what a complete 2027 IT budget actually needs to include, and where businesses most often get it wrong. We’ll walk through the core pieces of a complete IT budget, including cybersecurity, hardware, and AI, and look at where the costs are shifting most heading into 2027. 

What you’ll walk away with:

A practical framework for building a complete 2027 IT budget 

What to include for cybersecurity, hardware, and AI, and how to plan for each 

Why hardware costs are rising and what that means for your replacement timeline 

The financial trade-offs between in-house, outsourced, and co-managed IT 

A preview of what’s coming in November’s deeper dive into AI budgeting specifically
