Often have a demanding PC user group with strong input into the IT decision process
“We are pushing the latest technology MS promotes and we need them to help us continue to push these business solutions.”
Often invest in reducing risk from security, stability and compliance issues to drive IT spending at or above the industry average
“Our users push the limits and we need to provide them with security and stability [it is critical].”

“IT is just a cost of doing business – we’re trying to spend less not more”
