Call it human nature. We all like to compare ourselves to others. Many of us like to know that our plans and actions are similar to what a majority of others are doing.
Companies are no different.

Wit SoundView is an investment banking firm with a focus on the technology industry. The survey results reflect the opinions of more than 1,000 respondents, mostly senior IT executives within midsize and large corporations.
