Product Code: R149-571
Description
This report summarizes the findings of the third wave of AMI’s quarterly tracker (Q-Pulse) survey conducted among small (1-99 employees) and medium (100-999) businesses (SMBs) in India. The survey was completed among a representative sample of the top business decision makers and/or technology decision makers during September and October of 2009.

These findings were compared to the first and second waves of Q-Pulse (QP1 2009 and QP2 2009), and prior AMI survey research (Q4 2008), as relevant.

The main study objectives include the following:
  • Understanding the impact of the economic environment on IT purchase decision-making from an SMB perspective.
  • Identifying IT and telecom-related mindsets, attitudes, expectations, purchases and plans from a quarterly perspective as they unfold during 2009—in particular as the impact of the economic stimulus is felt and the current recession gives way to an improving economy.
  • Determining shifts in ICT quarterly spending (QoQ) by comparison across major product categories.
  • Tracking changes in buying process and buying criteria.
