IT spend is accelerating.
-
$6.15 trillion in global IT spending projected for 2026
-
71% of employees don’t return company equipment
-
10–30% of devices are misassigned without active management
The result is a widening discrepancy between perceived and actual asset reality.
What the Data Signals
These are not isolated findings.
They point to a widening disconnect between asset growth and asset control
- Up to 25% of IT spend is tied to unused or untracked devices.
- Poor asset accuracy can cost organizations millions each year.
-
Why It Matters
Most environments are not missing data.
They may already have a ghost asset problem.
They are operating on data that no longer reflects reality.
The difference is subtle.
The impact is not.
