Introduction
 
 

The IT Industry Barometer is an annual survey conducted by BASSCOM. Its goal is to gather representative and reliable data about the Bulgarian IT sector.

The basis of IT Barometer is the questionnaire presented on the following pages. It is divided into five main parts:

• General Information
• Statistics
• Human Resources
• Forecast
• Current Subjects and Remarks, Comments

You will be able to answer the survey anonymously, or if you chose so – provide your company name and contact information. If you do, that information will be used only by GOPA to send you back your answers. BASSCOM will receive only the summarized results. No BASSCOM representative will have access to individual answers.

We appreciate the participation of all companies, so the results can be representative for the sector.
