Neochange, Sandhill Group and the Technology Services Industry Association (TSIA) recently surveyed 353 IT professionals to answer these and other questions about enterprise software adoption.

- Business impact is the key measure of software success.
- But still less than half actually measure "success".
- Effective usage is the dominant driver of business value.
- More than half the companies achieved less than 49% effective software usage.
- The C-level blames the IT shop for lack of software success.
- In reality, the challenges to success are a shared responsibility, but all can be led or influenced by IT.
- IT executives need to take charge as complexity increases.
- Underutilized software is still critical to competitiveness and innovation.
- Improved usage would impact the top and bottom lines.
