Demographics: 2024 IBM i Marketplace Survey Results

This survey represents the viewpoints of IBM i professionals from around the globe across multiple industries and regions. This diverse sampling spans variability in budgets, company size, server size, operating system versions, and experience levels to give a representative and diverse look at the worldwide IBM i market. This year saw an uptick in the number of respondents from the United States, and a slight downturn from respondents in Europe. Once again, manufacturing and banking/ finance are the top two industries represented.

This year, the balance between respondents coming from a smaller organization (less than 500 employees) and those coming from larger ones (41% vs 59% respectively) slightly favored the larger organizations. In terms of the job titles of respondents, they are mostly IT managers, developers, and administrators, while under the “Other” option you may find titles like account manager, architect, and engineer.
