2009 ILTA Survey:  ILTA has released its 2009 Technology Purchasing Survey, which targets law firms with more than 50 attorneys. Produced in cooperation with InsideLegal.com, the 40 question web-based survey was distributed to 730 firms, and yielded 115 responses, says JoAnna Forshee.

Among key results, the most popular tech implementations for 2008 were network and server upgrades. Budget cuts for 2009 were severep only 15% of survey participants spent more than 4% of total firm revenue on technology -- compared to 28% in 2008.

Virtualization -- virtual desktops and data center/backup virtualization -- is by far the hottest trend, the survey found.

And we were happy to see that both Law Technology News and The Common Scold blog continue to draw strong support from the ITLA crowd, with LTN coming in third in popularity behind ILTA's own publications (Peer to Peer quarterly magazine and ILTA white papers) and CIO magazine!
