Abstract
In this study, Delphi gathered the responses of more than 800 end users, software vendors, and service providers to identify the current attitudes and expectations for software standards. Delphi concluded that the research, follow-up interviews, and analysis for this study all point to one overwhelming take-away: Standards have shifted into high-gear, not only garnering attention from business buyers but more importantly, they are seen as a mandate for competitive stature, cost effective IT and operational excellence.
