Although the holiday rush is over, this month is still the height of shopping season for quality professionals. Thirty-one percent of respondents plan to make their first equipment purchase for this year in January, according to our 15th Annual Spending Survey.
The survey is conducted annually to determine what readers will be spending on capital equipment, software and services. The goals are to determine how the projected budget compares to actual spending, how the spending patterns change from year to year, spending on equipment overall, and the breakdown of spending for each category of equipment.
