METHODOLOGY
The objective of this year's Megaspenders 2005, like the last two years, was to find the top IT spenders in FY 2004-05, and assess the IT investment pattern during the year; and plans for future investment during FY 2005-06. On the basis of the set objectives of the research, Dataquest commissioned IDC India to undertake a large-scale quantitative survey across various cities in the country. The survey involved face to face interviews with the CIOs. A preliminary list was prepared on the assumption that companies with higher revenues would probably spend more on their IT infrastructure. The sample list included the top 200 large enterprises and the key players from banking, technology, and related verticals-with traditional high IT spend. The questionnaire was administered to the decision maker of the target organization, through a face-to-face interview. IDC administered the questionnaire to about 200 companies who participated in the survey, about 51 questionnaires were rejected either while validating the data, or of the companies with very small IT spending. The companies who did not furnish the spending details were automatically disqualified. The final analysis is based on a sample size of 149.
