Continued EQUS Investigations Uncover Voice of Enterprise Customer During this Economic Downturn

February 18th 2009 marked EQUS Group's first Wine&Tell event. While our Clients and Friends encouraged us to host an informal (over wine) information sharing session for them and their co-workers, we were anxious to see how the event would truly unfold and who would actually attend.

Turns out we were delighted with the outcome!! This was also confirmed as a success by our clients. Thank you! If you were able to attend, you will recall that we conducted in-depth interviews with primary ITDMs for Enterprise companies across a good cross-section of verticals.

For those of you who were not able to attend, we hope you will join us during our next Wine&Tell on 4/22/09. If you should like to recieve an 'encore' in-house presentation from our CEO, Al Nazareli, on our first event, he would be happy to share findings with you and your team.

The EQUS Group had asked you for areas of interest specific to your business and you provided feedback. So, as backdrop for what we will be covering in our next Wine&Tell, we are going deeper into several specific technology areas including:

• Further insights on IT spending and the current economy based on our March round of discussions with CIOs
• Value proposition of cloud computing and on-demand service delivery for IT infrastructures
• Impact of net books adoption on overall hardware and software deployments
• Windows 7-attitudes and propensities
• Mobility trends in platform adoption in the enterprise space
• Impact of current economy on Green IT initiatives

EQUS Wine&Tell events are held at the Westin Bellevue.
