We publish the fifth and final piece of our Survey of 100 Software Buyers globally In our first report (see link) we published a summary of key findings in terms of spend intentions (down y/y in the US but flat in Europe) and category prioritizations (AI and GenAI leading priority areas). In our second report (see link) we focussed on results in the Platform and Data categories with Microsoft leading the way, but Databricks making significant improvements and gaining ground on Amazon and Google (and leapfrogging Snowflake in Data warehousing).

Oracle has now moved solidly into the #4 preferred IaaS provider position with 12% now using OCI, up from 6% last year. Hybrid Cloud continues as a theme with 71% using multiple IaaS providers.

And the winner is: Microsoft on top; IBM at the bottom Finally, we asked 100 Software Buyers about incremental spending intentions this year by vendor for ~20 software vendors. Microsoft saw by far the strongest scores with 67% saying they would increase spend (although down y/y) with IBM at the bottom of the list (only 7% saying they would increase IBM spend).
