ChangeWave's latest corporate software survey points to a continued tepid spending environment going forward. The October 11-25 survey reveals a continuation of the slower growth we've been tracking since April in our business spending surveys, coupled with a modest downward adjustment in corporate capital budgets. ChangeWave Research is a division of The 451 Group.

While some software categories still show positive overall growth, most categories appear weaker than they were just three months ago. A total of 1,604 respondents involved with software purchasing in their company participated in the survey.

Report details include:

• Day Enterprise Software Spending Projections
• Projected Software Spending By Company Size
• Adjustments to Overall Capital Budgets
• A Look at Software Categories Going Forward – including BI, Data Storage, Virtualization, CRM, SCM, ECM, and ERP, among others
• Key Reasons Behind Future Software Spending
• Closer Look at Virtualization
• Impact of Cloud Spending on Corporate IT Budgets
