CIO reports that Robert Half Technology has published the results of a study on IT project plans as the economy turns around. 1,400 CIOs were interviewed and here are some of the results:

[...] 37% intend to implement software and hardware upgrades that had been deferred due to poor economic conditions in 2009. Another 16% plan to roll out virtualization projects that were previously shelved, and the same percentage of IT leaders polled said Web site design initiatives would get the go ahead following an economic recovery.

These new IT projects include cloud computing and social media initiatives. Interestingly enough, our CEO recently published an article on how you can be ready for the recovery by prioritizing and executing projects that are coming off the bench.

Which of your IT projects might come back into play now that the recession is nearing its end?
