In early 2004, Corporate Technologies conducted 49 in-depth, face-to-face interviews with senior IT decision-makers such as Chief Information Officers and Vice Presidents of IT.

During these meetings the interviewees addressed a broad range of storage-related questions designed to gauge their current and projected storage requirements and to identify their storage challenges.

The respondents represent several key vertical markets, including financial services, manufacturing and life sciences. These organizations are located in the Northeast and represent mid-market and Fortune 1000 companies. Companies range in revenue size from $250 million to multi-billion dollars.
