IT budget planning
Next year's IT budget shouldn't be based on guesswork
A laptop breaks right before a deadline. The licence bill is higher than last year. Nobody knows why. ABiAN reviews your IT environment, costs and future needs so that next financial year's budget is well grounded.
- Hardware
- Licences
- Security
- Projects
Does this sound familiar?
This is what happens when the IT budget isn't planned in time.
IT costs come unplanned
The invoice arrives and there's no room for it in the budget.
Unclear what you pay for
Licences and services pile up. Some of them nobody uses any more.
Hardware is replaced when it breaks
An employee waits for a new laptop. Work stops.
The company grows, the IT plan doesn't
New hires, a new office, new systems — and none of them in the budget.
No confidence in security
Is enough set aside for security and backups? Usually you find out after an incident.
IT hardware prices are rising
IT equipment is getting more expensive worldwide. The later you plan, the more you pay.
IT hardware prices are rising. Plan your budget in time.

What the IT budget covers
Not just new laptops. We plan everything the company pays for during the year.
New hardware
Computers, servers, network devices and a replacement schedule.
Licences and cloud services
Microsoft 365, Azure and other subscriptions — only the ones you actually need.
Infrastructure maintenance
Upkeep and updates for servers, network and devices.
Cybersecurity and backups
Protection, monitoring, security assessments and the ability to restore data.
User support
Help for employees with everyday IT questions.
Development projects
New systems, moving to the cloud, office expansion.
How we build the budget
Four steps to a budget you can defend in front of management.
01
Current IT environment
What hardware you have, how old it is and what condition it's in.
02
Current costs
Which licences and services you pay for and which ones you don't need.
03
Future needs
Company growth, new projects and security requirements.
04
Priorities and budget
What to do first, what can wait and what it will cost.
Next year will start either way.
The only question is whether you'll have a plan.
