The results are in!

 

For the second annual IBM i Marketplace Survey, HelpSystems set out to gather data about how businesses use the IBM i platform. The first survey sparked many thoughtful conversations about this technology, and we're thrilled to be part of such an engaged community.

 

This time, we aimed to include even more people in more corners of the world. We achieved those goals, with 834 people completing the survey—more than double last year’s participation. 42% of these IT professionals work outside the U.S., compared to 25% last year.

 

We're so happy to share the results with you and hope you'll find the information interesting and useful as you evaluate your own IT projects.

 

Thank you to everyone who participated in the survey!
