Available Now! Making the Most of TBED IT Investments

Last summer, SSTI and JumpStart Inc. conducted a survey of tech-based economic development (TBED) organizations on how groups use and invest in information technology tools. The goal of this survey was to gather a greater understanding of the basic challenges TBED organizations face with regard to information technology, as well as their self-identified strategic goals and whether they believe their IT spending priorities are helping them achieve these goals. Professionals from nearly 250 organizations, including universities, incubators, accelerators and economic development organizations took the survey, and the results are now available in the form of a whitepaper.

The results confirmed a trend many experts have suspected for some time. Economic development leaders realize that technology can help them do more impactful work and satisfy increasingly demanding stakeholders. However, most are dealing with small to non-existent technology support teams as well as limited technology budgets. Read the whitepaper, Making the Most of TBED Technology Investments: A Survey of Industry Goals, Spending Priorities and Overall Strategic Confidence, to learn more about how TBED organizations spend their scarce IT dollars and how to improve the return on your organization's investments.
