At the start of September 2023, we published an article containing the findings from polls conducted on social media. Using LinkedIn and Twitter, we spent the summer trying to gauge the thoughts of fellow IT professionals. The findings were interesting enough for us to continue in our poll efforts during September and October. Today, in ‘Market Research for IT’, we present the results – like us, we hope you find them to be of great interest!
