Market Researcher Finds High Tech Economy Progressively Revitalized

SANTA CRUZ, CA, April 6, 2004 - Market research company, Evans Data Corporation, is pleased to announce their best quarter in the company’s six-year history. Revenue for Q1 2004 was up 164% over Q1 2003 and revenues for the fiscal year to date are up more than 50%.

"In good economic times and bad, the value of research cannot be overstated. Research from Evans Data is focused, up to date and the ounce of prevention that helps insure against needing the pound of cure," said Janel Garvin, Evans Data's VP of Research. "With the tech economy growing stronger again, it's even more important to acquire and use effective market research to gain the competitive advantage needed to succeed."

Combining a bulletproof methodology with expert analysis and EDC’s panel of over 15,000 developers worldwide means that EDC surveys accurately reflect the changing conditions in the high technology marketplace.

• EDC’s longest running and most popular development survey, the North American Development Survey, takes a wide sampling of the state of development, from tool usage to language adoption to host and target OS’s. The North American survey is supported by two companion surveys: EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and APAC (Asia/Pacific).
• Evans' new Web Services Development Survey clearly represents the attitudes, awareness, perceptions and concerns of developers working on Web Services applications.
• The North American Developer Population Study, a new kind of survey for EDC that estimates actual developer populations, breaks down the developer population in North America by the technologies they are using, intend on using and languages the developers support.
• Other technology specific surveys from Evans Data include: Linux, Database, Wireless, Chinese Wireless, Embedded Systems, as well as the aforementioned Web Services. Evans also produces two tactical marketing reports: Developer Marketing Patterns and Developer Relations Programs.

Evans Data Corporation provides regularly updated IT industry market intelligence based on in-depth surveys of the global developer population. Evans' syndicated research includes surveys focused on developers in a wide variety of subjects.
