User Survey Analysis: Highlights of Customer Buying Trends, U.S. and France, 2008

Recommendations from external peers are a leading source to help identify and select IT hardware and software providers. References and Web sites ranked as the top two most-effective marketing categories. But respondents had low enthusiasm about digital media overall; they considered video and webcasts to be most effective. However, they did say that they participate in multiple online work-related communities (with business, technology and industry focuses), which offer the opportunity to network with peers.

User Survey Analysis: Software Overall Base Budget, Worldwide, 2007-2008
Summary: Organizations continue to drive down the percentage of their total IT budget devoted to infrastructure. Infrastructure spending still accounts for 40% of the IT budget.
