The number of companies that have completed an IT project involving Web services standards has grown, a survey released Monday showed. The percentage of surveyed firms using standards such as XML or SOAP increased from 11 percent in mid-2002 to 31 percent today, market researcher Forrester Research Inc. found.
The survey of 877 high-level IT and business decision-makers also found that 60 percent would buy disaster-recovery products or services this year, and 45 percent would purchase business intelligence tools, including data mining and analytics software.
