Recently in 80 - Development Tools Spend Category

Small, medium and large market research companies spend around £70 per employee on  software development tools.  This is less than that by the very small concerns with under 50 staff.  Apart from large firms (1000+ employees), market researchers have a higher outlay than their all UK counterparts.

Gambling & betting firms far outstrip other organisations in the arts, entertainment & recreation sector in their spend per employee on development tools.  Their outlay is more than double that of creative, arts & entertainment concerns and almost a factor of ten greater than the remaining constituent enterprises.

Financial services organisations are forecast to spend almost £350m on software development tools in 2015.  Banks & finance houses will dominate the sector with expenditure of £200m.  At little over half that amount will be invested by auxiliary financial & insurance institutions such as those providing security, commodity and insurance brokerage services.  Life and general insurance companies are each expected to spend under £20m.
