This business trends study is part of Ovum Enterprise's Customer Interaction Technologies research. A survey was taken, asking 200 contact center managers about their IT budgets, investment plans, and channel priorities.

Section 1 - Demographics:
Section 2 - IT budget trends: This covers how IT budgets have changed from 2008 and if enterprises are planning to increase or decrease them in 2010. It also provides information on how enterprises' IT budgets are split by technology and provider and which positions have the most influence over contact center decision making
Section 3 - Strategic goals and business objectives: This section indicates enterprises' key goals and business objectives for 2009 and 2010. It looks at how IT budget trends affect priorities in the contact center.
