Earlie, as you know I work in a F 500 IT department. In the last several months we were bought out by larger F 500 company. The directive we have over the next year is to reduce the combined IT budget 50%. That is visibility and reality. -g- FWIW the average IT spending by F 500 companies amounts to 2.5 % of gross sales. Expect that to drop to the 1.5% level before this is done.
