The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (FRBSF) article30 talks about the boom and bust of IT investment in the 1990s and 2000s, attributing much of the increase to falling prices due to technological change. This seems like a good candidate for the "History and Origin" section.
The Deloitte article29 discusses the evolution of tech finance and increasing scrutiny on budgets.
Precisely28 and zLog27 and Computer Guide26 and Rocket Software25 discuss mainframe history, which is part of IT infrastructure. The IBM System/360 is mentioned as a key moment.
The Monēgro article 24provides a good historical overview of IT market cycles and the role of IBM.
I'll use the FRBSF article 23for the history section due to its economic perspective on IT investment.
