We’d like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who participated in our recent customer survey. Your responses were thoughtful and helpful!

With the caveat that the respondents are self-selected and not otherwise randomly representative of any population,  here are some of the resulting numbers.

At first glance it seems surprising that the just-one-way traffic is weighted so heavily in the .NET-calling-Java direction.  We expected some unevenness: there’s still more “legacy” Java code out there to be called than there is .NET code, and enterprise customers are more likely to have Java situated on the back-end, called by .NET apps on the front. Interactions with customers tell us that this 17% should, in reality, be higher.

No real surprises here: this data primarily reinforces the fact that you’re steadily moving to newer versions of both platforms as they become available, and that we need to continue to stay current with new technologies.

Given all the hype about the cloud in the press, this, frankly, was a surprise. We have no explanation for this number. It just is what it is.

Again, many thanks to all of you who participated! We’ve contributed a nice chunk of change to Doctors Without Borders in appreciation of your efforts.
