With IT Technology spending now approaching $1.2 Trillion (IDC: CMO Tech Marketing Benchmarks Studies 2003-2005), there are probably a few new customers that you are missing. Tech spending has recovered nicely since 2001, with average growth rates from 2004-2006 in the 6% range. While that's not the double digit growth that we witnessed for many years leading up to 2000, we are smarter, leaner and operating more efficient marketing and sales organizations.
