Summary


This report provides guidance on life science IT spending trends based on a detailed evaluation of survey results. This research further evaluates how spending sentiment and behavior differ by various industry subsegments based on company size (1,000 or more employees and fewer than 1,000 employees), organization type (pharmaceutical, biotech, government, academia/research hospital, and CRO/CMO), and functional area (basic research, preclinical drug development, clinical trials, manufacturing/distribution, and sales and marketing).

Leading Indicators in Life Science IT Spending Survey is a quarterly research effort that probes end-user opinions throughout the life science value chain on planned IT spending, technology adoption, leading vendors, and other IT-related topics. This data was gathered via a Web-based survey, which yielded 178 participants, 60% of whom were manager level or above within their respective organizations.
