Meanwhile, 31% of respondents indicated that their companies are cutting costs in key areas such as R&D and technology. The survey was conducted by PreEmptive Solutions from February 2 – 23, 2009.

If a portion of the Stimulus package goes to helping software companies apply their expertise toward improving transparency, efficiency and security for key industry sectors like healthcare or financial services, it will have a significant impact. If funds don't get allocated in this way, how will we know the Stimulus is having a positive effect?"
