1. Executive director/administrator 2. IT procurement 3. CIO 4. IT manager/director 5. IT operations 6. Data center manager 7. Engineering 8. IT security 9. Applications/software development 10. Database management
Emerson surveyed 800 IT professionals from four regions -- the U.S., Asia, Europe and Latin America -- representing 17 work roles and 18 industries, at businesses ranging from 50 to more than 10,000 employees.

There we three open-ended questions:
