PARSIPPANY, NJ, March 11, 2003 – A new collaborative study conducted by Waxberg Consulting, and InfoTech – the telecommunications research and consulting arm of PBI Media – projects that campus CIOs will increase spending significantly on communications infrastructure, network services, and applications through 2005. With the ever-increasing demands that the campus environment places on communications infrastructure, this study uncovers and fully examines the key drivers propelling the increase in IT spending. According to Irwin Waxberg, Principal at Waxberg Consulting, "Our research shows that with this strong increase in spending, campus CIOs are also seeking stable IT strategies and migration plans. To assist them, many CIOs have strong expectations -- largely unmet to date -- that their technology vendors will provide a clear, forward looking vision". The insightful market study and analysis, The Evolution of Higher Education Campus Networks: 2002 to 2005, takes a comprehensive look at the campus network landscape -- examining not only which technologies will exhibit growth, but also which technologies will be less relied upon as these networks evolve. Based on detailed interviews with higher education CIOs, this study explores the significant growth potential in the higher education campus network market and provides extensive data, analysis, and forecasts on the usage trends of campus communications technology, services, and applications. The study also explores which factors are most influencing network migration and growth while providing a thorough analysis of the decision criteria used by CIOs in their vendor selection process.
