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’ very own 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
Register now to build a 2027 budget that covers everything your business actually needs.
