In order to assess IT spending priorities over 2012 and beyond, ESG surveyed 614 senior IT professionals representing midmarket (100 to 999 employees) and enterprise-class (1,000 employees or more) organizations in North America, Western Europe, and Asia-Pacific. All respondents were personally responsible for or familiar with their organizations’ 2011 IT spending as well as their 2012 IT budget and spending plans at either an entire organization level or at a business unit/division/branch level. A subset of ESG’s questions in this survey focused on respondents’ usage of and plans for public cloud computing services.
