New figures by e-skills UK have shown that the economic recuperation of the UK information and communications technologies sector seen in the third quarter of last quarter continued in the following one.
According to Michael Dean, head of marketing at the National Computing Centre, the technology industry in the UK has not yet fully recovered from the global financial crisis, but it's a naturally buoyant sector.
He said that while the "IT industry is always bullish", there are big shifts coming in the way corporates buy IT," in the period after the downturn.
"End users will be buying more services and less IT", Mr Dean added, explaining that the accessibility, flexibility and security of outsourced or cloud computing seems appealing to business buyers.
According to Mr Dean, the crisis has had a "fairly dramatic" impact on the sector, allowing big players to acquire all of their smaller rivals and "new challengers to established players" to emerge.
