Identifying the shifting content and engagement needs of generational IT buyers

Based on Foundry’s 10th annual Customer Engagement research, this report provides insight into the content types and vendor engagement preferences of IT decision-makers (ITDMs). This year's study found a generation gap among these preferences - older tech buyers are more likely to experience challenges finding high-quality content and rate the content’s value significantly lower than their younger counterparts. Just 36% of Boomers said downloaded work-related content provides actionable information compared to 54% of Millennials and 60% of Gen Z.

This global research of 843 ITDMs is a valuable resource for tech vendors to understand how to best position their content for tech buyers and how to best engage with them throughout the purchase process. To assist tech marketers as they plan out their strategies for the year, we’ve detailed the findings in this white paper.
