Very optimistic but how realistic?
Survey results were published on November 20.
When was the survey conducted? Is it based on actual questions like "By how much percent has your budget for 2009 increased?" Or was it "By how much are you planning to increase the 2009 IT Budget?"
Also if it was conducted in October 2008 then budgets for 2009 were probably just being discussed and were getting finalized only in November middle. And we know how the world has changed.
We should be careful about such surveys because an Industry's own survey can have only a rosy picture painted. We have already been witness to the Realtor who kept on insisting that the Real Estate market could go only one way "UP". We now know what has happened.
IMHO, we should take the conclusions of this survey with a sackful of salt - a pinch would be grossly insufficient.
