SURVEY STATISTICS
|
 |
|
We spoke to a wide range of organisations from different industries about their current and future software development and integration plans.
Nearly a quarter (24%) came from the financial services area, while 14% were public sector bodies, and 10% were in the retail sector.
Our survey focuses on those larger organisations who are tackling some major IT projects.
Two-thirds of the companies contacted have turnovers of over £150 million and a quarter (26%) have a turnover of more than £5 billion. The majority (82%) employ more than 50 IT staff, and two-thirds (66%) have over 100 IT employees.
