Tech sector a launch pad to boost economy

Pressure on companies to streamline their operations, increase efficiencies and make savings have been named as factors that have driven growth in the technology sector.

With the UK economy still volatile with significant ramifications on the global economy, innovations in the technology sector are allowing companies to do more with less.

The technology sector has been highlighted as a major area for growth in the UK economy but according to Andrew Gilbert from data centre and communications specialist Node4, the industry needs long-term strategies in order to increase innovation and prosperity in the future.

He said: “Throughout the technology sector, the changing landscape has helped introduce some groundbreaking new inventions to the marketplace.

“For instance, rapid advances in technology are allowing companies to outsource their IT provisions and eliminate the need for substantial initial investment.

“The industry shouldn’t lose sight of what comes first – high-performance solutions that will service end-users for years to come.”
