REGULARS2008 Member Survey Results: Key Management AreasDMTF recently completed the 2008 membership survey, which was conducted during DMTF’s 2007 fiscal year. Thanks to all members who completed the membership survey. Your feedback is pivotal to the continued growth and success of DMTF, and will help the organization set priorities and allocate resources. The input garnered from the survey will be used to identify how our technical, marketing and interoperability programs can better meet the needs of our members going forward. This month, we will begin to unveil the results from the 2008 DMTF membership survey, which was completed by about 147 DMTF members. One of the questions we asked the members was to select the most important management areas for their company.
