Cloud checks in as the hottest budgeted initiative followed by Mobility/BYOD and business intelligence.
20% of organizations - increasing IT budgets
18% - budgets decreasing.

The presence of Shadow IT could be a very meaningful data point.
Gartner predicts that shadow IT will account for 35% of total IT spending in 2016.
If we combine the lower two segments we see 32% of the Fortune 1000 engaging in some form of shadow purchasing which lines up closely with the Gartner prediction.
BAO’s business mirrors this shift.
Over the last few years we’ve seen a marked increase in clients targeting Line of business roles.
3 years ago we’d see maybe 10% of organizations using cross functional decisions making teams and 1% of organizations with LoBs free to purchase tech on their own. Now that combines number is up to 32%.
** note some orgs told us more than one of the three answers - hence the answers adding to a total greater than 100%.
26% of Fortune 1000 organizations have cloud applications managed outside of IT
Those that have chosen that strategy have invested heavily in it.
BAO can pinpoint which organizations are actively engaging in shadow IT
Which lines of business are the Shadow IT “power users?”

Another third of the market has adopted flash but not heavily, less than 10% in fact, of that organizations overall storage environment.
10% of organizations consider <15% of their storage data as mission critical.

Demographic data is publically available and easy to understand – is typically how accounts are identified and prioritized
The Fortune 1000 is a very popular target market for obvious reasons
Even the Fortune 1000 is not immune to the pitfalls of demographics based targeting.
Your Total Addressable Market may be relatively static, but your actual target market should be constantly changing
Demographic data to find lookalikes mimicking a big customer win
Finding lookalikes isn’t as easy as a look-up in Hoovers
From the outside Polo Ralph Lauren looks demographically similar to Philips Van Heusen.
From an account-level perspective:
A little color here, PVH currently appears on 49 client lists that we’re calling on.
Polo currently appears on 22 of our client lists.
PVH doesn’t look like Polo Ralph Lauren at all.

Selling cloud solutions –you should be focusing on PVH and Nike.
It’s not a question of, are a certain organization a good target or not.
