If you apply this estimated figure to Fortune 500 companies, the money spent adds up to $60M each year.

Based Quotes
This is pretty much what we expected based on market research and conversations with executives from ECA member companies. It's good news, but it's difficult to ascertain whether it is a trend.

Across Quotes
