The 2019 C-Suite Software Sentiment Study by the Business Software Education Center was conducted in May of 2019 with the goal of providing a mid-year check regarding what executives are thinking, planning and prioritizing on the increasingly mission-critical subject of software and technology. Over 500 executives participated across all company types, sizes, and geographies. Hence, the study is statistically “projectionable” and valid for the United States market. As a benchmark, future studies can identify changes in sentiment that will be powerful insights.
