IT PURCHASING TRENDS
B2B IT purchasing is exploding in scope. Product
prices are continually dropping while the variety
of models available for many products are
increasing fast and new products are coming to
market every day. This in turn requires new levels
of efficiency from the purchasing teams.
In 2007 our clients ordered 11,366 distinct IT
products. Jump forward 13 years and the number
has risen to 310,092. That’s an increase of over
2 700 %.
It is essential that B2B IT vendors make it quick
and easy for their clients to buy from their online
catalogues.

More than 20% of the Forbes Global 2000
companies use Markit in their IT purchasing.
