HEADNOTE
U.S. MANUFACTURERS KNOW THEY NEED TO INVEST IN IT-AND SOME EVEN PLAN FOR IT-BUT RESEARCH SHOWS FEWER ACTUALLY ARE BUYING.

IMAGE ILLUSTRATION 2AHH, THE HALCYON DAYS of 2004. Sure it was no 1998, but it was sure better than 2001. Manufacturers were so sure that the turn-of-the-century recession was over that more than 90% of them told IW/MPI Census of Manufacturers surveyors that they would maintain their current annual investment in IT or spend even more in 2005. Those planning to spend the most-those above the 75th percentile-said they would invest 3% to 5% of sales on IT in 2004. INDUSTRYWEEK reported this good news with the headline "The Juice Flows Again."
