Half of ICT managers concerned about vendor lock-in

BELTUG’s latest survey among 70 ICT managers reveals that they are concerned about getting more confined to a single supplier.  About 47% are afraid of a vendor lock-in by suppliers such as HP, Cisco, IBM or Microsoft.  Anyway, Belgian ICT managers are rather loyal to suppliers.  Those that sent a request for proposal last year, at least 61% remained with their known supplier.  One in three was disappointed by the few proposals received.  About half of respondents received only one or maximum two answers – a situation most to the advantage of Belgacom.
