Revision to the
Information Technology Survey: 2002 financial year
Hot Off The Press
Revisions have been made to the Information Technology Survey: 2002 financial year released on 26 March 2003.
An error was found in the process used to calculate the revised estimates for the 2001 financial year, which were published with the 2002 financial year release. The estimates for the 2001 financial year have now been updated. The comparisons between the 2001 and 2002 financial years have also been affected. The Tables, Highlights and Commentary sections have been changed to reflect these revisions. The 2002 data for sales of training and education in IT has been suppressed due to quality concerns.
Subscribers are asked to discard their original copy of this Hot Off The Press (dated 26 March 2003) and replace it with this revised version dated 16 April 2003.
Statistics New Zealand regrets any inconvenience this error may have caused users.
