On November 17, 2009 Forrester Research reported the preliminary results of a CIO benchmark survey. These results indicate:
- Within a given IT group, the number of people in ‘applications’ is higher than the number of people in IT infrastructure. 40% of IT people are in applications and 30% are in infrastructure.
- The number of people working on enterprise projects varies a lot, but in nearly all cases is a significant part of the IT organization at an average of 10% in medium sized shops (50 to 300 people in IT) and 5% in large shops (> 300 people within IT).
