 From the Editor:

by Mark Brunelli, Site Editor

In some enterprises, the months of summer send company officers scrambling for their spreadsheets, trying to map out their spending for the upcoming fiscal year.

We'd like to know what is on the docket for your company in 2004? As you're starting to think about your FY'04 budget, we want to know:

  • How much is going to be allocated to emerging technologies like Linux, grid computing and utility computing?
  • Is that percentage up, down or flat from '03?
  • What other areas will you be concentrating spending on?
Send me your thoughts in an e-mail and they could show up in a future Search390.com news exclusive.

Cheers,
Mark Brunelli
