Of respndents fcused n transactin cst reductin: 32% indicate that data strage technlgy will be the mst effective t them 27% fcused n cmmunicatins technlgy Increased bandwidth is mre beneficial t small cmpanies than t larger cmpanies. 26% f respndents at small cmpanies indicate that increased bandwidth technlgy is mst likely t help them achieve their gals fr innvatin vs. 15% at larger enterprise rganizatins Industries In Need f Innvatin Executives were asked t chse which amng several industries wuld benefit mst frm embracing technical innvatin. 53% selected healthcare 50% selected federal; 48% cited state and 46% cited lcal gvernment 39% selected K-12 educatin; 38% selected higher educatin. 4

5 Fcus f Innvatin in Healthcare Fcus f Innvatin in Healthcare Greater benefit frm innvatins in healthcare 30% Greater benefit frm innvatins in the public/private healthcare system 70% When asked where imprvements in emplyee healthcare will benefit their rganizatin the mst, mre than tw-thirds f executives indicated that innvatins must cme in the public/private healthcare system (reduced csts, better recrd keeping, better insurance cverage) while the ther third believes that innvatins in healthcare (better dctr training, better medicatins, mre health educatin, healthier emplyees) will benefit their rganizatin the mst.
