In terms of size, 42% of the represented companies or divisions are large (i.e., more than 1,000 employees), 31% are small-to-medium-sized (i.e., 100-1,000 employees), and 27% have 100 or fewer employees. Financially, 24% of respondents represent divisions or companies with revenues over US $1 billion, 37% have revenues between $10 million and $1 billion, and 39% have revenues of less than $10 million.

In terms of organizational industry, there was a widely dispersed representation. The largest group of respondents were from firms engaged in computer consulting (18%), followed by government (15%) and financial services (15%). Computer software (7%) and medical and health services (6%) were the only other sectors to exceed 5% representation in the survey. The respondents were largely IS/IT management (29%) or senior management (20%), although project managers (13%) and consultants (13%) were the two next largest positions represented.
