Abstract

Business usage and buying patterns are under pressure from market forces such as the tightening of financial markets. With limits on access to ready sources of capital for operations, business habits for purchasing, upgrading, and replacing PCs are changing. Technology providers looking to thrive on changes in business PC usage, such as new expected life spans of PCs, can use survey results found in this report to align their product and roadmap strategies.

This report summarizes the results of a business usage and purchasing patterns survey conducted in March of 2007. Findings in this report include business users time spent on PCs, the desired features of future PC purchases, changes in usage patterns, anticipated life span for PCs, and business users thoughts about what new PCs should cost.

Results from this report will help companies determine:
  • When businesses are likely to make their next PC purchase.
  • The features business users really want, based on their usage and buying patterns.
  • If mobility is a focus for business.
  • How business views infrastructure.
