Jul 23, 2003 : Gartner: Web Services Investment Steady

📅 July 23, 2003 - The sluggish U.S. economy has affected the Web services investments of 48 percent of companies but has not eliminated them entirely, according to a survey by research firm Gartner (gartner.com).

The survey also found that nearly 33 percent of those surveyed indicated that the economic slowdown had not affected their organization's investments in Web services projects.
"These survey results show the level of commitment that organizations have toward their Web services development initiatives," said Nicole Latimer, industry analyst for Gartner. "For these organizations, Web services development projects are at the top of the list of company priorities and is one of the last budgets to be raided when budget cuts are made."
Gartner is a research and analysis firm based in Stamford, Connecticut.
