Spiceworks Ziff Davis LogoThis dataset was originally produced by Harte-Hanks, and it is now produced by Aberdeen Group, a subsidiary of Spiceworks Ziff Davis (SWZD).  This resource has been called many different names over the years:

  • CI Technology Database/Dataset (CiTDB)
  • Company Intelligence Data
  • AccessCI
  • Harte-Hanks Market Intelligence

The CI Technology Datasets product provides data on the installed technology and purchase plans of businesses, governments and institutions at the local level, contains company profile information that includes annual spending/expenditure on IT and telecommunications, and counts on Installed Technology, such as:

  • Computer hardware
  • Software
  • Networks
  • Storage and telecommunications
  • IT Staff/Employee counts

The UCI Libraries license spans 1996 – 2022.  Please note that 1996-2006 data is less robust than data from 2007 onward.

Files are generated in early January to reflect the end state of the previous year's database.  File types are usually .TXT files, comma (,) delimited, Double-quote (") text qualified.  On occasion, Win-1252 encoded, or UTF-16 depending on the needs at that point in time. 

Data Dictionaries will also be included, and each year's dictionary applies to all years following it until there is a new version. For example, the 2011 dictionary also applies to 2012. A new year's dictionary indicates that changes were made.
