For the seventh consecutive year, AT&T has completed a survey of 500 Information Technology (IT) executives around the US. The goal was to learn what these executives were doing about business continuity, and how it figured in their overall IT strategy.

All the companies in the survey group had revenues in excess of $25 million, according to Dun and Bradstreet, and 73% represented companies with 100 or more employees, according to the respondents themselves. About 48% described their IT network as local, 22% as regional, 15% as international and 14% as national.
