Survey methodology
Network World, 6/16/97
The Network World/Deloitte & Touche Consulting Group 1997 Budget Survey was based on telephone interviews with 200 Network World readers. Respondents were pulled from a
random list of readers whose network equipment and services budgets are at
least $1 million per year and whose company revenue is at least $100
million per year. Surveys were conducted only with subjects who indicated
they are responsible for specifying or approving expenditures in network
equipment, software and services.
The interviews were conducted in March and April by Focus Data, Inc. of
Framingham, Mass., under the direction of the company's president, Mona
Dabbon.
