According to the newly released IntelliQuest Computer Industry Media Study (CIMS), Business Study, InformationWeek, InternetWeek and Network Computing rank #1 in their respective competitive sets in providing reach to the most powerful buying audience segment with purchase influence spanning multiple products. (1) IntelliQuest CIMS is an independent syndicated study that provides insight into the reading and buying habits of technology influencers. Of the 52.6 million purchase influencer universe, the study identifies a core business technology buying audience of 2.6 million IS (information systems) professionals(2) -- the individuals who are charged with leading the technology purchase process for a wide variety of products and services in corporate America today. The study confirms that this IS target is the most powerful audience segment studied, with each individual spending an average of $720,000 annually on technology products and services. In comparison, the entire study's average influencer spends $226K(3). This IS target also leads all other segments studied in average spending for the majority of the major product categories.(4) Marketing Challenge: Efficiently Reaching the Most Powerful Buyers Technology vendors are challenged with reaching the most influential and powerful individuals in an effective and efficient manner, especially in the current economic climate. Reaching the influential IS target is paramount for today's technology companies. CMP Media's Business Technology Group delivers this audience.
