In the fall of 2019, 141 eDiscovery Business Confidence Survey participants chose to answer at least one of the optional business operational metric survey questions in the quarterly survey. Almost 25% (24.8%) of survey respondents reported Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) as increasing in the fall of 2019. This is a solid decrease from approximately 33% (32.7%) reporting MRR as increasing in the summer of 2019.
In the fall of 2019, only 38.7% of eDiscovery Business Confidence Survey respondents feel that business climate conditions will be better in six months. This is slightly lower than sentiment in the summer of 2019 where 39.9% of survey respondents felt that the business conditions would be better in six months. However, it is the lowest rating in this area since the inception of the survey and may indicate a continued cooling of business conditions.
In the fall of 2019, 24.0% of respondents viewed increasing budgetary constraints as potentially having the greatest business impact on their business in the next six months. This percentage is the highest of all concerns represented in the survey and also is the ninth time in sixteen surveys that this issue has been rated as the top concern by eDiscovery professionals.
