Recently in 80 - Custom Software Spend Category

The fastest growing sector for custom software in 2013 is research & development.  Organisations in this segment are increasing their spend by some 30%.  Next in line are veterinary concerns who are advancing their custom software expenditure by almost 25%.  They are closely followed by transport equipment manufacturers.

Small firms, employing 50-99 staff, typically spend under £5k each annually on custom software.  Concerns involved in head office activities have the highest outlay at around £40k.  A little behind are travel agents & tour operators followed by telecommunications and life insurance companies.

Large transportation support companies - including those providing warehousing, passenger facility operations and cargo handling - spend more than twice as much on custom software as their closest counterparts in the distributive trades sector.  The outlay by such support firms with 1000+ staff approaches £300 per employee.  Air transport and water transport concerns are the next highest spenders.
