Interest in Wi-Fi as Cloud Service by company size
Small to Medium Enterprises Want Wi-Fi as-a Service There are 27 Million Small Businesses in the USA (US Consensus Bureau) 64% Interested 34% Neutral 46% Interested 40% Neutral 62% Interested 33% Neutral Survey of 200 IT decision-makers Companies with 250 employees or less Some of the results in this deck are weighted by employee size of companies In some cases, totals may not add to 100% b/c of weighting Results tends to skew toward companies with less than 100 employees There are ~50 respondents in each of four company size categories Less than 100, 100 to 149, 150 to 199, 200 to 299 For “company size” analysis, used three groupings: “Small SMBs” = Less than 100 “Medium SMBs” = 100 to 199: Companies in this size category likely to be more alike than those smaller or larger Can still break this category in half, if needed “Large SMBs” = More than 200 Provides a useful way to look at differences across size of companies On slides which show the three categories of company size, the data is NOT weighted Interest in Wi-Fi as Cloud Service by company size Research, October 2016 ©2016 KodaCloud
