There is an ad-hoc approach to ICT training
Organisations are relying on companies with a vested interest in certain products to provide ICT support
Organisations are not using resources on strategic projects outside the normal maintenance of ICT systems
Organisations experience a lack of consistency from funders in relation to ICT spending
Less than one in six of small organisations have a specific ICT budget
Organisations have made the effort to get online, however, they are not fully utilising the potential benefits this can bring
