AMI-Partners' forecasts are driven by data collected from a nationally projectible sample of end user firms each year in our annual survey instrument. Probes include current adoption/penetration of forecasted technologies, current and projected spending levels, and the presence of key "growth indicator" responses throughout the survey.

To this primary data are applied weighting and proprietary algorithms controlling growth factors, statistical balance, and sample confidence. In addition, macro economic government data such as GDP and interest rate factors are also considered, as well as relevant supply side data. In total, each of the AMI-Partners forecasts makes use of the widest blend of primary and significant secondary source material available."

Based on proprietary surveys of Small and Medium Businesses in the United States, Europe, Latin America, and the Asia/Pacific region, AMI-Partners' comprehensive data on Internet, IT, eBusiness, and Communications investment and usage is presented in a highly actionable, graphical format with go-to-market insights and analysis.
